About five light-years &#8220;tall&#8221; the Horsehead lies some 1,500 light-years away in the constellation of Orion. Within the region&#8217;s fertile molecular cloud complex, the expanse of obscuring dust has a recognizable shape only by chance from our perspective in the Milky Way though. Orion&#8217;s easternmost belt star, bright Alnitak, is to the left of center. Energetic ultraviolet light from Alnitak powers the glow of dusty NGC 2024, the Flame Nebula, just below it. Completing a study in cosmic contrasts, bluish reflection nebula NGC 2023 is below the Horsehead itself. This well-framed telescopic field spans about 3 full moons on the sky. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap221229.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Horsehead Nebula, famous celestial dark marking also known as Barnard 33, is notched against a background glow of emission nebulae in this sharp cosmic skyscape.
