The Horsehead Nebula is part of a larger complex of gas and dust clouds known as the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, which is a region of active star formation. The nebula itself is a dense cloud of gas and dust, which obscures the light from the stars behind it and creates the distinctive silhouette of the horse's head.
