The Horsehead Nebula
The constellation Orion is not only known for its large number of bright stars, but also for a wealth of different nebular structures. Besides the famous Orion Nebula M42, the so-called Horsehead Nebula, which is no less well-known, is a showpiece. The striking shape is created by the dark cloud B33, which is located in front of the emission nebula IC 434 and whose silhouette very much resembles a horse's head.
