Orion. It is located to the south of Alnitak, the star farthest left on Orion’s belt. Roughly 1,500 light-years from Earth and about 3.5 light-years wide, the swirling cloud of dark dust and gases form a shape similar to a horse’s head. The red glow is created by hydrogen gas mostly behind the nebula, ionized by the nearby bright star Sigma Orionis. Thick dust causes the horsehead’s darkness and the lower point of the horsehead’s neck casts a shadow to the left.

I N S P I R AT I O N A L Polaris, a yellow supergiant star roughly 430 light-years from Earth, is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor. Better known as the North Star, Polaris can be found by following a line through the two stars that form the end of thefrom a distance, \"bowl\" of the Big Dipper. Also called the Steering Star, Lodestar, and Stella Mars, Polaris has been used throughout the ages to determine latitude and locating the direction of north. The name “North Star” is passed from one star to the nextS U S TA I N A B L E due to the slow but continuous change of the direction of Earth's axis. In 3000 A.D., Gamma Cephei, a star 45 light-years away, is scheduled to become the next North Star as it gets closer to Earth’s northern celestial pole. Polaris will againclose to home reclaim the title of North Star in 26,000 years.
