The Horsehead nebula up close.

At the top left of the horse shape you can see a star embedded in the cloud - illuminating it. (unless I am mistaken)

I imagine there would be a stunning view from a planet orbiting that star!!!

...when I see people with nicks like one above, I think about this, instantly...

as in half the night sky would be relatively bright, close reflection nebula and the other half would be the stars visible out the 'top' of the cloud

maybe it wouldnt look as bright up close though im really not sure
