Horsehead and Flame Nebula by William Reininger

Price: $85

The dark Horsehead nebula and the bright emission Flame nebula, on the left, are located near the easternmost star, Alnitak, in Orion’s Belt. The field of red hydrogen gas is blocked by the dust cloud that forms the Horsehead silhouette, whereas the Flame is an emission nebula excited by ultraviolet light from a central star in the nebula. Both objects are about 1,350 light-years away in the constellation Orion.
