Witch Head Nebula Talon Abraxas IC 2118 (also known as Witch Head Nebula due to its shape) is an extremely faint reflection nebula believed to be an ancient supernova remnant or gas cloud illuminated by nearby supergiant star Rigel in the constellation of Orion. The nebula lies in the Eridanus Constellation, about 900 light-years from Earth. The nature of the dust particles, reflecting blue light better than red, is a factor in giving the Witch Head its blue color. Radio observations show substantial carbon monoxide emission throughout parts of IC 2118, an indicator of the presence of molecular clouds and star formation in the nebula. In fact candidates for pre-main sequence stars and some classic T-Tauri stars have been found deep within the nebula.

The game is the first in the series to attempt to feature massively multiplayer gameplay, with players' actions affecting the narrative story of the game's persistent universe, while also retaining single player options. Elite Dangerous Odyssey is due in 2021 but the latter part of 2020 has seen Elite dangerous embrace community goals and more player involvement #EliteDangerous #AXCombat #Thargoids by Ricardos Gaming

The Witch Head Nebula (IC 2118) is an extremely faint reflection nebula located in the Eridanus (The River) Constellation. Astronomers are still learning about this molecular cloud, but research indicates that the wind-swept appearance may have formed from stellar wind of nearby, highly luminous stars.

ADS Curiosity R-01 - Farseer Expedition Log 2
May 1st, 3303
I find myself in the California Nebula yet again. I have to get exploration data for Farseer’s experimental FSD - I’m at a crossroads now. I’m trying to figure out how far I want to fly, how long I’m willing to be away.
I could complete a circuit, flying to Orion and Bernard’s loop, cutting across to the Witchhead nebula, to return to Maia or Merope before flying to Farseer’s base. Or I could go out further, like the Jellyfish nebula. I’d rather wait to do longer missions in a multicrew vessel, but I have no idea how much data I’d need to gain access to Farseer’s grade-5 FSD. I don’t want to go jump-mad. There’s always stories of explorers starting to hear voices in witch-space...I don’t want to find out first-hand if those rumors are true.
