Barnard 33 Horsehead Nebula
Small dark nebula in the constellation Orion. It is located just to the south of Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion's Belt and is approximately 422 parsecs or 1,375 light-years from Earth. The nebula was first recorded in 1888 by Scottish astronomer Williamina Fleming on a photographic plate taken at the Harvard College Observatory.
