Horsehead Nebula and Flame Nebula.
The Horsehead Nebula is a dark nebula found just below the star Alnitak in the Orion belt.
This nebula with its characteristic shape is observable thanks to the IC 434 emission nebula located behind it.
The Flame Nebula, instead, is found just to the left of the horse.
The characteristic of this nebula, which gives it its name, is the dark mass of dust that passes through it and which gives it the shape of a flame.
