Default ASTRO: IC 426

IC 426 is a reflection nebula in Orion, likely illuminated by Mintaka,
the right hand star in Orion's belt. Like nearly all the nebulae in
Orion it is part of a vast cloud of dust and gas about 1300 light-years
distant. The little piece that is IC 426 is about 2 light-years across.
