Witch Head Nebula
The Witch Head Nebula (IC 2118) is an extremely faint reflection nebula located in the Eridanus (The River) Constellation. Astronomers are still learning about this molecular cloud, but research indicates that the wind-swept appearance may have formed from stellar wind of nearby, highly luminous stars.
