Barnard 150 is a dark nebula visible in the Cepheus constellation at a distance of 1,200 light-years. It is also known as the Seahorse Nebula due to its shape. This nebula is rich in interstellar cloud with a density in regions that is great enough to cause the obstruction of light emission from nearby stellar objects. The obstruction of light is seen as dark regions within the image.
