The magnificent extent of the Horsehead nebula is best appreciated in a new wide-field image being released today by the National Optical Astronomy Observatory, taken by Travis Rector with the National Science Foundation's 0.9 meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory near Tucson, AZ. The image is being released in conjunction with a close-up image of the Horsehead from the Hubble Space Telescope, in celebration of the 11th anniversary of the launch of HST.
