Horsehead Nebula

Photo taken by Richard Crisp on December 2 - 3, 2005.


"Also known as Barnard 33 Nebula.

The image is roughly 0.67 pc (2.2 light-years) in the horizontal dimension, about 1,600 light-years away in constellation Orion.

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."

YOU CAN JUDGE ME, YOU CAN ACCUSE ME FOR STEALING,
BUT YOU CAN'T IGNORE ABSOLUTE BEAUTY OF UNIVERSE
THAT I AM ONLY TRYING TO SHOW.

IN OTHER WORDS I CREATED THIS ACCOUNT SINCE GOD CAN'T DO THAT.

THIS IS MY DEDICATION TO PERFECTION OF NATURE'S/GOD'S
CREATION WITCH CAN WE BARELY UNDERSTAND,
MY LITTLE TEMPLE OF GLORY TO UNIVERSE.
I THINK IT DESERVES IT.

I HOPE I AM NOT ONLY ONE TO ENJOY IN IT.
