Horsehead Nebula (NIRCam Image) - Webb
2024年4月29日 · Red-colored wisps extending above the main nebula represent both atomic and molecular hydrogen. In this area, known as a photodissociation region, ultraviolet light from nearby young, massive stars creates a mostly neutral, warm area of gas and dust between the fully ionized gas above and the nebula below.
Horsehead Nebula - Wikipedia
Colour images reveal a red colour that originates from ionised hydrogen gas (Hα) predominantly behind the nebula, and caused by the nearby bright star Sigma Orionis. Magnetic fields channel the gases, leaving the nebula into streams, shown …
IC 434 - The Horsehead (And Flame) Nebula Astrophotography
2024年9月10日 · The Horsehead Nebula is large and colorful, but the actual horsehead is a small dark cloud of dust known as Barnard 33. This target as a whole is often simply called the Horsehead Nebula. You can learn more about the different types of nebulae on our Nebula astrophotography page.

2013年4月19日 · It appears transparent and ethereal when seen at infrared wavelengths. The rich tapestry of the Horsehead Nebula pops out against the backdrop of Milky Way stars and distant galaxies that easily are visible in infrared light. Hubble has been producing ground-breaking science for two decades.
Horsehead Nebula (MIRI Image) - Webb
2024年4月29日 · This image of the Horsehead Nebula from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope focuses on a portion of the horse’s “mane.” It was taken with Webb’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument). Mid-infrared light captures the glow of substances like dusty silicates and soot-like molecules called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
