1082 aka Barnard 150, also known as Seahorse Nebula, is a dark

absorbs all the light that comes from the stars behind it.
This
molecular cloud is part of our Milky Way galaxy, one of the 182 objects
cataloged by astronomer Edward E. Barnard and it lies at about 1200
Light Years away.
This nebula is about 1 degree in size or the width of two Moons.
