The Horsehead Nebula “runs for the roses” across the cosmic stage in this new near-infrared view from the James Webb Space Telescope. The extreme close-up focuses on a portion of the horse’s “mane.” Explore the mid-infrared counterpart: webbtelescope.pub/3W6fx4X 🔭 🧪

A clumpy dome of blueish-gray clouds rises about a third of the way from the bottom. Above it, streaky, translucent red wisps brush upward to about halfway up the image. The top half of the image is the black background of space with one prominent, bright white star with Webb’s 8-point diffraction spikes. Additional stars and galaxies are scattered throughout the image, although very few are seen through the thick clouds at bottom and all are significantly smaller than the largest star.

Looks like the background of an 80s sci fi VHS box, so cool
