Barnard 150

Barnard 150 (also known as LDN 1082) is a famous dark nebula located in the northern constellation of Cepheus, approximately 1,200 light-years from Earth. This fascinating astronomical object is universally nicknamed the Seahorse Nebula. It extends across the sky for about 1 degree, a size comparable to that of two full moons placed side by side. Within the dark filament are three exceptionally dense dust nuclei (cataloged as LDN 1082 A, B, and C). These nuclei are veritable stellar cradles where gravity is collapsing matter to give birth to new stars, visible only in the infrared.
