The Flame Nebula.

About this Image

This image, the first to be released publicly from VISTA, the world’s largest survey telescope, shows the spectacular star-forming region known as the Flame Nebula, or NGC 2024, in the constellation of Orion (the Hunter) and its surroundings. In views of this evocative object in visible light the core of the nebula is completely hidden behind obscuring dust, but in this VISTA view, taken in infrared light, the cluster of very young stars at the object’s heart is revealed. The wide-field VISTA view also includes the glow of the reflection nebula NGC 2023, just below centre, and the ghostly outline of the Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) towards the lower right. The bright bluish star towards the right is one of the three bright stars forming the Belt of Orion.

Although, that would probably add to my arousal if I were attracted to a woman because of her beauty.

I used to talk on the net quite a bit with a gal that was a Sapiosexual.  I'm very much attracted to intelligent people, but I'm not a Sapiosexual because they don't arouse me sexually.
