I think it would be impossible to argue that it does NOT spin. As part of the Milky Way, the Horsehead Nebula is orbiting around the center of the galaxy. Since that is true, it would be perceived as having a spin either sidereally or synodically or both, and it may be spinning around its own axis as well. Even if it isn't, it is spinning from some valid point of view.

What is the origin of the Horsehead Nebula?
The Horsehead Nebula can be found in the constellation Orion. Its name comes from its resemblance to a horse's head. The Horsehead Nebula was first discovered by Williamina Fleming in 1888.
What kind of object is the Horsehead Nebula?
Diffuse Nebula
Does the horse head nebula have any moons?
No the Horsehead Nebula doesn't have moons.
What in outer space begins with the letter h?
the horsehead nebula
How much bigger is the horsehead nebula against earth?
12 times
Why doesn't the Horsehead Nebula glow like other nebulae?
Horsehead Nebula doesn't glow like other nebulae because it is older than other nebulae and was probably a lot smaller. In addition, Horsehead Nebula is farther away from the Earth than other nebulae, so it may seem that it doesn't glow as bright as other nebulae. No, this isn't right! The horsehead nebula doesn't glow for one reason - it isn't illuminated by any stars whose energy is enough to make the gas shine. That's the only difference between a 'bright' diffuse nebula (like M42) and a 'dark' one like the Horsehead or the Coalsack. M42 (the Orion nebula) is bright because there are several hot, energetic stars embedded inside it, and which cause it to 'shine'.
What are examples of nebulae?
Planetary nebulae (the cat's eye nebula) Emission nebulae (the orion nebula) Dark nebulae (the horsehead nebula) Supernova remnant nebulae (the crab)
What is the scientific name for Horsehead Nebula?
IC 434,Barnard 33,LDN 1630,M3T 31,[OS98] 52
Why is it illegal to walk and talk at the same time in the Horsehead Nebula?
That is just a funny joke. First off, the Horse-head Nebula is in a outer space, far away and second, is it a nebula. A nebula is a section of a star that exploded and is a formation of star gas. Thanks for asking away.
What is a close nebula to Orion's nebula?
A nebula is a cloud of dust and gas in space. Some of the clouds block out the light from the stars behind. These are called dark nebulae. One of the best-known is the Horsehead Nebula. Other dust clouds reflect the light from the stars and shine brightly. These are called bright nebulae. : Edit: The Great Orion Nebula is M42. M43 is a close nebula close to M42.
When was Horsehead Corporation created?
Horsehead Corporation was created in 1848.
What special features is found in Orion constellation?
It is made of 20 stars, the bigest star is called Betelgeuse, the brightest star is Rigel (which is 40,000 times brighter than our sun; 7th brightest star in the sky) and it is in the shape of a warior. It also contains the Orion Nebula and the Horsehead nebula.
