Horsehead Nebula Mysteries

[ManaMinori 4,143]

Back in “It's about time”, Twilight was looking through a telescope and mentioning the Horsehead Nebula, which is located in the Orion constellation (which Twilight also mentions in “Art of the Dress”). This mention of the nebula/ constellation has always intrigued me, because of my long love for celestial themes. This nebula is also a real world nebula, and more importantly, we've seen that living constellations, in the form of Ursa Minor and Ursa Major exist.

 

 

 

Could other living creatures exist throughout the cosmos, namely, the Horsehead Nebula? Star horses, perhaps? Or personifications of stars? (like how Gaia Online has Hatsya, Saiph, Rigel and Mintaka as star characters/ siblings)

 

 

 

whose true forms are actually star dragons

 

 

Will MLP ever explore the mysteries of this Horsehead Nebula?

Don't they say 'an' Ursa Major in the episode?

there seem to be more than one, though. Trixie said that there was the Ursa Major that attacked the ponies of Hoofington, and she banished it back to its cave in the Everfree, but there have to be more, right? I mean, if that one came from the Everfree's caves, then there has to be one in the cosmos, too...and they are able to breed (because baby Ursa Minor)

Right. Being a living personification of a celestial grouping would require uniqueness. Imbued with the characteristics would be how I look at the Ursa's.

 

I do think it's a cool idea to have other celestial references, nebulae as you mentioned. At least the cooler sounding ones ... I don't ever expect to see a Lyman-Alpha Blob.
