The Horsehead Nebula (B33 or Bernard 33) was first photographed in 1888. I was eventually given the familiar name of Horsehead Nebula because of its resemblance to a horse's head. The nebula, itself, is located in the constellation Orion and is found just to the south of the star Alnitak, which is farthest east on Orion's Belt.

This wild horse can be found roaming freely throughout the Assateague Island National Seashore and Assateague State Park.
