on Novemer 2nd, an SF story was posted starting with a mention of the Horsehead Nebula:

Never Lock Your Door by A. F. Borun

[b]Anboulia [/b](from Ancient Greek ἀνβουλία meaning "without a will, council or state in any form") is a conscient-inhabited planet of the Invisible star (the one behind the Horsehead Nebula and twice as distant) where aborigens are reluctant to contact yet drew xenologists' interest for their social structure. The name of the planet was changed from temp. Terra 511 as a result of such research. (Wiki). [/quote]

[Note: The Horsehead Nebula gets referenced in an APOD [u]caption[/u] about twice a year on average.]

yeah, it's my big brother

[b]Q:[/b] How many voters does it take to change a light bulb?
[b]A:[/b] None! Voting can't change anything (David Graeber)

Не запирайте вашу дверь
А.Ф. Борун
[b]Анбулия [/b](от др. греч. ἀνβουλία — «без воли, совета, совещания, государства в любой форме») – планета звезды Инвизибл (за туманностью Конская Голова и вдвое дальше неё), населённая разумными существами, не очень склонными к контакту, но вызвавшими интерес ксенологов своей социальной организацией. Название планеты изменено с первоначального рабочего временного Терра-511 в результате их исследований. (Вики).
[b]Вопрос:[/b] Сколько избирателей необходимо для того, чтобы поменять лампочку?
[b]Ответ:[/b] Ни одного, поскольку избиратели не могут ничего поменять. (Д. Гребер)

[b]Revelation 6:5–6: [i][color=#0000FF]And when hee had opened the third seale, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and loe, a blacke horse: and hee that sate on him had a paire of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the foure beastes say, A measure of wheate for a penie, and three measures of barley for a penie, and see thou hurt not the oyle and the wine.[/color][/i][/b]

I always thought the Horsehead looked more like a seahorse head…

I think the resemblance is quite striking!

Anybody else agree or disagree?

Ah, The Horse head; one of my favorite nebula! 8-)

[b] Explanation: [/b] The [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsehead_nebula]Horsehead Nebula[/url] is one of the most famous nebulae on the sky. It is visible as the dark indentation to the orange [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/emission_nebulae.html]emission nebula[/url] at the far right of the [url=https://www.astrobin.com/biwuli/0/]featured picture[/url]. The [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140728.html]horse-head[/url] feature is dark because it is really an opaque [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap030706.html]dust[/url] cloud that lies in front of the bright [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_nebula]emission nebula[/url]. Like clouds in [url=http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sunearth/science/atmosphere-layers2.html]Earth's atmosphere[/url], this cosmic cloud has assumed a [url=http://www.brucevanpatter.com/cloudshapes.html]recognizable shape[/url] by chance. After [url=https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0272/4770/6214/articles/do-cats-get-bored-800x533.jpg]many thousands of years[/url], the internal motions of the cloud will surely alter its appearance. The emission [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap061015.html]nebula[/url]'s orange color is caused by [url=https://history.aip.org/exhibits/electron/]electrons[/url] recombining with [url=https://home.cern/news/news/physics/proton-century]protons[/url] to form [url=https://periodic.lanl.gov/1.shtml]hydrogen[/url] atoms. Toward the lower left of the image is the [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap210412.html]Flame Nebula[/url], an orange-tinged nebula that also contains intricate filaments of dark dust. Two prominent [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/reflection_nebulae.html]reflection nebulas[/url] are visible: round [url=https://telescopius.com/deep-sky/object/606/ic-432/bright-nebula]IC 432[/url] on the far left, and [url=https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/blue-sky/en/]blue[/url] [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap180329.html]NGC 2023[/url] just to the lower left of the Horsehead nebula. Each glows primarily by [url=https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap070611.html]reflecting the light[/url] of their central star.
