What the hell am I looking at. How/W/W/W/W What...

Where did you take this--is this all one shot or multiple images layered?.........

[Bukuzoid]

@VincentVega44 Several images taken with different scale. All except last one, are amateur astronomer's photos. (Images copyrights are in video description)

We always see these pictures and the dust clouds look amazing but do these thing actually move? And how fast is that theN?

Great video, nice "space" music.

pause at 0:29 to me it looks like an angel because the fuzzy parts on the side look like wings and the "horse head" looks like a lock of hair emerging from the angels head and the horse's body looks like the head, hair, and a dress.

Horsehead nebula looks really nice but my fav types of nebulae are emission and supernova!
