This is the reflection nebula called the Witch Head Nebula, but officially IC 2118 (also with the catalogue number NGC 1909), near the very bright star Rigel, at lower left in Orion. But the nebula is over the border in Eridanus the River. Hot blue-white Rigel is the source of illumination lighting this dusty nebula. Some faint magenta emission nebulosity also populates the field in Orion.

This frames the Australian aboriginal "Dark Emu" made of dark dust lanes in the Milky Way as it rises in the east. The spectacular southern reaches of the Milky Way from Centaurus to Carina shine above high in the south, including the Southern Cross. The dark Coal Sack beside the Cross is the head of the Emu. Her neck is the dark lane that splits the Milky Way starting at the star Alpha Centauri and extending down and into Scorpius, here rising above the trees.

This is a single exposure of the end of totality (Third Contact or C3) of the April 8, 2024 total eclipse of the Sun. It shows the numerous pink prominences along that limb of the Sun and shows the first burst of light from the Sun's photosphere shining through a lunar valley or crater. The bright inner corona also shows up even at this short single exposure. High cirrus clouds added some glow to the diamond ring burst.
