      Explanation: Spanning light-years, this suggestive shape known as the   
      Seahorse Nebula appears in silhouette against a rich, luminous   
      background of stars. Seen toward the royal northern constellation of   
      Cepheus, the dusty, obscuring clouds are part of a Milky Way molecular   
      cloud some 1,200 light-years distant. It is also listed as Barnard 150   
      (B150), one of 182 dark markings of the sky cataloged in the early 20th   
      century by astronomer E. E. Barnard. Packs of low mass stars are   
      forming within, but their collapsing cores are only visible at long   
      infrared wavelengths. Still, the colorful stars of Cepheus add to this   
      pretty, galactic skyscape.
