Aagh!! [tearing hair e]
I didn't think mine was right; it wasn't in keeping with a riddle. But I wish I'd Googled earlier; I wasn't sure there was a horseshoe nebula (there is), but I did find B 33. Horsehead Nebula. ... There are several objects in this image. The dark nebula that forms the Horsehead itself is known as Barnard 33

Q: Why should the Irish police use the Hubble telescope in their attempts to find Shergar?
AGH! So many things swirling around in my head; and none will nova into anything coherent: because they need a big look-see; because he's in the heavens; because he's Sure Gone so far; because that's how the horsehead nebula was formed. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I think it's best to ignore him when he gets like this, Jackie. An I ain' splainin him no Barnard 33 jus to get *his goat. Turned out to be wrong, anyway.

Because it's great for discovering X-ray sources!
