This is the APOD from April 2, 2013. It is a picture of a nebula that resembles a horse's head but it is not the common horsehead nebula in Orion. It is a reflection nebula, IC4592, that is near Scorpius. The bright part near the "eye" of the horse head is a star from the system Nu Scorpii. There is another reflection nubula, IC 4601, in the upper right part of the image.
