  1. Had a great ride on the #Veluwe yesterday with the #horses from #TheMillRanch. It's always some getting used to, those western saddles. I normally ride on English ones, and I do prefer those. But it's always such great fun on their horses in those woods! And it's fun to change it up sometimes.

    I don't like to post myself here, but have at least a photo of Pumpkin's dear little face.

  2. I remember seeing the Horsehead nebula in my parents’ encyclopedia as a kid. I was amazed at how such a thing could exist. And now technologyy has evolved so far, that I can take the same picture from my own backyard!
    Here it is accompanied by the Flame nebula in the lower left together with the star Allnitak, which is the left most star in Orion’s belt. #horsehead #B33 #NGC2023 #horseheadnebula #flamenebula #astronomy #astrophotography #deepsky #backyardastronomy #astroshots #astrophoto #Space #universe #galaxy #universetoday #nightsky #stars #galaxy #nightphotography #skywatcher #touptek #backyardastrophotography

  3. I don't often get to photograph the Horsehead nebula (IC 434) due to the position of obstructions around the garden, but needed to test out the range of a replacement NUC, so it seemed like an ideal subject

  4. La nébuleuse de la Tête de Cheval - Astronomy Picture of the Day - 25/11/2024

    Comptant parmi les nébuleuses les plus aisément reconnaissables, la nébuleuse de la Tête de cheval dans Orion, fait partie d'un grand nuage moléculaire sombre...

  5. #Horsehead #Nebula, otherwise known as Barnard 33, resides roughly 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Orion.

    The nebula formed from a collapsing interstellar cloud of material, and glows because it is illuminated by a nearby hot star.

  6. #NASA 's #JamesWebb Telescope has captured the most detailed infrared images ever taken of the #Horsehead #Nebula, one of the most majestic and recognisable objects in the night sky

  8. Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation, a magnificent #interstellar dust cloud by chance has assumed this recognizable shape.

    Fittingly named the #Horsehead #Nebula, it is some 1500 light-years distant, embedded in the vast #Orion cloud complex.

    The featured gorgeous color image combines both narrowband and broadband images recorded using several different telescopes.

  9. After the release of the sublime image of the Horsehead Nebula by Euclid, here is a tribute to earlier endeavors, with this beautiful 1977 cover of Science Magazine, featuring a photographic plate by the National Geographic Society - Palomar Observatory Sky Survey
