BlueHorseheadNebula
Blue Horsehead Nebula, known by its catalog destination IC 4592
A reflection nebula was found within the constellation Scorpius, very close to the brighter and more color-saturated Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex.
Mainly comprised of very fine dust, while typically darker in visual appearance but with reflecting the light of the energetic nearby star structures help give it a more saturated and brighter view of the formation.
The primary formation of the horsehead itself measures roughly 40 light-years across and is located about 420 light-years away.
