The silhouette of an intriguing dark nebula inhabits this cosmic scene. Lynds' Dark Nebula (LDN) 1622 appears
against a faint background of glowing hydrogen gas only easily seen in long telescopic exposures of the region. LDN 1622 lies near the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy,
close on the sky to Barnard's Loop, a large cloud surrounding the rich complex of emission nebulae found in the Belt and Sword of Orion. But the obscuring dust of LDN 1622
is thought to be much closer than Orion's more famous nebulae, perhaps only 500 light-years away. At that distance, this wide field of view would span less than 10 light-years.
Its foreboding appearance lends this dark expanse a popular name, the Boogeyman Nebula.
