Computer-coloured optical photograph of the Horsehead Nebula (NGC 2024),a dark nebula in the constellation of Orion. The nebula is created by opaque dust which absorbs light from the stars beyond. The Horsehead lies at a distance of over 1000 light years. The original black-and-white photograph was taken with the 4-metre telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona | |
