IC 2118 The Witch Head Nebula
It was nicknamed the Witch Head because it looks like a facial profile of a wicked witch.
IC 2118 is an extremely faint reflection nebula believed to be an ancient supernova remnant or gas cloud illuminated by nearby super-giant star Rigel in the constellation of Orion.
The nebula is in the Eridanus Constellation, about 900 light-years from Earth.
