The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33 or B33) is a small dark nebula in the constellation Orion. [2] 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 .
The Horsehead Nebula, in the constellation Orion, is 1,300 light-years away. Webb’s latest infrared images released Monday captured the top of Horsehead in greater detail, illuminating clouds of ...
IC 434 is a bright emission nebula in the equatorial constellation of Orion.It was discovered on February 1, 1786 by German-British astronomer William Herschel. [2] The nebula is located at a distance of approximately 1,260 ly (385 pc) from the Sun and spans the interior of a neutral hydrogen shell with an angular size of 2° × 4°.
Three-colour photograph of the Horsehead Nebula taken by David Malin at the AAO David Frederick Malin AM (born 28 March 1941) is a British-Australian astronomer and photographer. He is principally known for his spectacular colour images of astronomical objects.
This image, made by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope in 2013, shows Barnard 33, the Horsehead Nebula, in the constellation of Orion (the Hunter), in infrared light.
DALLAS (AP) — NASA’s Webb Space Telescope has revealed the sharpest images yet of a portion of a horse-shaped nebula, showing the “mane” in finer detail. The Horsehead Nebula, in the constellation Orion, is 1,300 light-years away. A light-year is nearly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers).
Barnard's Loop (catalogue designation Sh 2-276) is an emission nebula in the constellation of Orion. It is part of the Orion molecular cloud complex which also contains the dark Horsehead and bright Orion nebulae. The loop takes the form of a large arc centered approximately on the Orion Nebula. The stars within the Orion Nebula are believed to ...
