是的，但是你能看见狮子吗？深度曝光显示了著名的黑色凹痕，看起来像马头，在中间下方的左侧可见，不出所料地被称为马头星云。马头星云（Barnard 33）是一个巨大的吸收黑暗的尘埃和明亮的发光气体的复合体的一部分。为了展现马头牧场的细节，一位天体摄影师将积累了20多个小时的氢（橙色）、氧（蓝色）和硫（绿色）的光艺术地结合在一起。这张壮观的照片拍摄于黎巴嫩的拉钦，详细描绘了一幅复杂的气体缕和充满尘埃的细丝的织锦，这些细丝是由恒星风和古老的超新星在千万年的时间里形成和雕刻的。在这幅特色的作品中，马头上方的橙色气体中出现了另一个空想的动物形象——狮子头。在马头星云的左边可以看到火焰星云。马头星云位于距猎户座1500光年远的地方。

Yes, but can you see the lion? A deep exposure shows the famous dark indentation that looks like a horse's head, visible just left and below center, and known unsurprisingly as the Horsehead Nebula. The Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) is part of a vast complex of dark absorbing dust and bright glowing gas. To bring out details of the Horsehead's pasture, an astrophotographer artistically combined light accumulated for over 20 hours in hydrogen (orange), oxygen (blue), and sulfur (green). The resulting spectacular picture captured from Raachine, Lebanon, details an intricate tapestry of gaseous wisps and dust-laden filaments that were created and sculpted over eons by stellar winds and ancient supernovas. The featured composition brings up another pareidolic animal icon -- that of a lion's head -- in the expansive orange colored gas above the horse's head. The Flame Nebula is visible just to the left of the Horsehead. The Horsehead Nebula lies 1,500 light years distant towards the constellation of Orion.
