Identification of a Turnover in the Initial Mass Function of a Young Stellar Cluster Down to 0.5 MJ: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/adb96a -> NASA's Webb Peers Deeper into Mysterious #FlameNebula: https://webbtelescope.org/contents/news-releases/2025/news-2025-105

This collage of images from the Flame Nebula shows a near-infrared light view from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope on the left, while the two insets at the right show the near-infrared view taken by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Much of the dark, dense gas and dust, as well as the surrounding white clouds within the Hubble image, have been cleared in the Webb images, giving us a view into a more translucent cloud pierced by the infrared-producing objects within that are young stars and brown dwarfs. Astronomers used Webb to take a census of the lowest-mass objects within this star-forming region.

Alnitak is a bright bluish star located left of the Horsehead Nebula and just above the Flame Nebula. It is the easternmost star in Orion’s Belt. Alnitak shines ultraviolet light into the Flame Nebula that ionises the hydrogen gas within, causing it to emit its own light.

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

Orions Belt
========

Orion’s Belt is a well-known asterism in the constellation Orion. It consists of the three bright stars Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka. These stars are more formally known as Zeta (ζ), Epsilon (ε), and Delta (δ) Orionis, respectively. The belt is one of the most easily recognizable asterisms in the night sky, being far more noticeable than the Big Dipper. The stars are more or less evenly spaced in a straight line, and so can be visualized as the belt of the hunter’s clothing.

The area around Alnitak with the Flame and Horse Head Nebulae is a classic target for astrophotographers, but I tried to put it into a bit more context, also highlighting the lighter dust regions between Alnilam and Mintaka.

The iconic Horse Head Nebula is a dark nebula roughly 1.500 light years from earth, consisting of a swirling cloud of gas and dust resembling the shape of a horse’s head.

Flame and Horsehead nebula photo. The horsehead is a dark patch in the shape of a horse's head or the bishop chess piece that is in stark contrast to the bright red nebula cloud around it. To the left of it the flame nebula is a more orange coloured circular feature with a dark band of black running through it. Several bright stars appear across the image and there are wisps of nebulosity around the edges

The #FlameNebula, #Sharpless 277, is a bright #emissionnebula located in the #constellation #Orion, approximately 900-1,500 light-years away from Earth. It reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight mid December.

Horse head and flame nebulas
==========================

It's already pretty late for this target, but I still wanted to give it a try. IC 434 and NGC 2024 are some of my favorite deep sky objects, located around Alnitak in Orions belt.

Es ist schon ein bisschen spät für dieses Ziel, aber der Pferdekopfnebel gehört zu meinen Lieblingsobjekten und ich wollte es gern noch versuchen.

Horsehead and Flame Nebula

I have found that I am no longer able to complete a project in a single night, or even in several consecutive nights. As the end of the season is approaching, I have stopped working on my Horsehead Nebula and Flame Nebula project after only two hours of data and saved it to continue next year.

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #FlameNebula is a small emission nebula about 900 to 1500 light years from us. The #HorseheadNebula is the small dark area amid deep red ionized hydrodren located about 1500 light years from us. Both are part of the rich molecular complex in the winter constellation Orion. The faint colors in the darker part of the sky hints at the potential to capture even more detail when I add to the 60 minutes of exposure that created this image. #StillLearning

and while i was in this area of the sky - i took a shot from IC434 - also known as the Flame Nebula

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #FlameNebula and #HorseheadNebula are star formation areas in the #Orion molecular cloud about 1300-1500 light years from Earth. I captured five 2 minute exposures Saturday night before the clouds rolled in. I stacked and processed them in SiriL and GIMP. I'm pretty happy with my post-processing in this image but I am clearly #StillLearning.
