Happy Derby Week! Looks like even the universe is celebrating.
NASA’s Webb Space Telescope has revealed the sharpest images yet of a portion of The Horsehead Nebula, a horse-shaped nebula in the Orion constellation that is also known as Barnard 33. It’s one of the most photographed objects in the sky!
This is a shot from the Euclid telescope:

The new images show the “mane” in further detail.
Don’t tell the scientists, but I don’t see a horsehead. Still cool, though.
