Snake nebula (Barnard 72), optical image. The Snake nebula, seen at centre, is so-called because of its curved S-shape. It is formed of a region of dust clouds that obscure the light from the stars behind, creating a dark silhouette. This nebula, part of the larger Dark Horse nebula, lies about 650 light years from the Earth in the constellation Ophiuchus. | |
