The Story Behind My America
"My America" lies beneath dark skies that enable me to witness the majesty of our universe. One of the reasons we moved to North Carolina six years ago was to find these dark skies, away from the light pollution found in so many urban areas. This image is of an emission nebula in the constellation Orion known as the Horsehead Nebula. In front of the red glow of ionized hydrogen gas, an intervening dust cloud forms the outline of a horse's head.
