Horsehead Nebula Pictures, Images and Stock Photos
The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33 in bright nebula IC 434) is a dark nebula in the Orion constellation. The nebula is located just below Alnitak, the left star of Orion's Belt. It is approximately 1,500 light years from Earth,and is approximately 3.5 light years wide.One of the most identifiable nebulae in the sky, it is part of a swirling cloud of dark dust and gases,shaped like a horse's head.The red glow originates from hydrogen gas predominantly behind the nebula, ionized by the nearby bright star Sigma Orionis. The darkness of the Horsehead is caused mostly by thick dust, although the lower part of the Horsehead's neck casts a shadow to the left. Streams of gas leaving the nebula are funneled by a strong magnetic field. Bright spots in the Horsehead Nebula's base are young stars just in the process of forming.

This is an image of the beautiful Horsehead and Flame Nebula in the constellation Orion. The "horse's head" is 1500 light years distant and formed by a cloud of dust silhouetted against the nebula in the background. The red nebula is formed by emitted ionized gas from the star Sigma Orionis.

"The Horsehead Nebula is a dark dusty nebula seen over red glowing hydrogen clouds behind in the Orion constellation. Brightest star on the image is Alnitak, the star farthest left on Orion's Belt. Flame Nebula also called ""Flaming Tree"" is just below this star. These nebulas are parts of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, a star-forming region in our Milky Way Galaxy. "
A natural color version using R, G, B, hydrogen alpha, Oxygen III and Sulphur II filters of the famous Horsehead Nebula. The actual horsehead is a small dark nebula (Barnard 33) which is set against the background of the larger star forming region (IC 434) made up primarily of ionized hydrogen gas. The Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) is seen to the left of the Horsehead and lower left of the bright star Alnitak, which is the eastern-most star in Orion's belt.
"This large field in the Orion Constellation features many famous objects including the Great Orion Nebula (M42), the Horsehead Nebula, the Flame Nebula, M78, Barnard's Loop, and many others."

The Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) and Horsehead Nebula (B33 against IC 434) are beautiful emission and dark nebulas located near Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion's Belt. Nebulas are 900-1500 light years away from Earth. Picture taken with professional CCD camera and refractor telescope (800mm, f/6.95) ha-alpha wavelength mixed with RGB (HaRGB image).

The actual horsehead is a small dark nebula (Barnard 33) which is set against the background of the larger star forming region (IC 434) made up primarily of ionized hydrogen gas. The Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) is seen to the left of the Horsehead and lower left of the bright star Alnitak, which is the eastern-most star in Orion's belt.
This is a famous dark Horse Head nebula in Orion constellation. The dark horseAAs head is a peculiar shaped cloud of dust that blocks light from red nebula from us. This was taken with Newtonian 200mm (diameter) 800mm (focal length) telescope and modified Digital Rebel.
