APOD: 2020 February 21 - LDN 1622: Dark Nebula in Orion

Good R.E.D. Friday Morning Maj William W. 'Bill' Price and another great APOD for today... Nebulae are a very interesting aspect of space and there are so many of them in the universe... I am adding a very short video that Zooms in on a sister Dark Nebula, LDN 423, but it does not exhibit the colors of this APOD... I am then going to post an adjunct video from you and I on scientific detail that delineates the detail behind these nebulae... Once again a great APOD this morning, Bill.

Thank you, my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for Friday, February 21, 2020 entitled "Dark Nebula in Orion." [also known as The Boogeyman Nebula, Lynds' Dark Nebula]

"Explanation: The silhouette of an intriguing dark nebula inhabits this cosmic scene. Lynds' Dark Nebula (LDN) 1622 appears against a faint background of glowing hydrogen gas only visible in long telescopic exposures of the region. In contrast, the brighter reflection nebula vdB 62 is more easily seen, just above and right of center. LDN 1622 lies near the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy, close on the sky to Barnard's Loop, a large cloud surrounding the rich complex of emission nebulae found in the Belt and Sword of Orion. With swept-back outlines, the obscuring dust of LDN 1622 is thought to lie at a similar distance, perhaps 1,500 light-years away. At that distance, this 1 degree wide field of view would span about 30 light-years. Young stars do lie hidden within the dark expanse and have been revealed in Spitzer Space telescope infrared images. Still, the foreboding visual appearance of LDN 1622 inspires its popular name, the Boogeyman Nebula."

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for mentioning me.
