"Looking into the Horsehead"

Dr. Marc Pound
University of Maryland

The Horsehead is probably one of the best-known objects in the sky. In curious contrast to its fame among the general public, the number of scientific studies of the Horsehead is very limited. In this talk, I'll review our recent millimeter wavelength study of the Horsehead, discussing its structure and star forming properties, as well as ideas about the formation, evolution and ultimate fate of this well-known nebula.
