IC 434

A slightly arty Horse Head Nebula in Orion.
The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33 or B33) is a small dark nebula located about 1,375 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Orion.The nebula is located just to the south of Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion's Belt,
and is part of the much larger Orion molecular cloud complex. It appears within the southern region of the dense dust cloud known as Lynds 1630,
along the edge of the much larger, active star-forming H II region called IC 434. It is one of the most identifiable nebulae because of its resemblance to a horse's head. (Wikipedia)
