在这片由恒星和尘埃组成的星际空间里,你能看到什么形状吗?这片宝石般的广阔空间,充满了微弱的,反射星光的云,在夜晚的仙王座中飘荡。在远离地球的地方,这些幽灵潜伏在1200光年外的仙王座耀斑分子云复合体的银河系边缘。VdB 141或Sh2-136的直径超过2光年,比其他怪异的奇合体更亮,也被称为幽灵星云,位于特色图像的底部。在反射星云中,有密集核心在恒星形成的早期阶段坍塌的迹象。漫游宇宙:随机APOD生成器

Do any shapes seem to jump out at you from this interstellar field of stars and dust? The jeweled expanse, filled with faint, starlight-reflecting clouds, drifts through the night in the royal constellation of Cepheus. Far from your own neighborhood on planet Earth, these ghostly apparitions lurk along the plane of the Milky Way at the edge of the Cepheus Flare molecular cloud complex some 1,200 light-years away. Over two light-years across and brighter than the other spooky chimeras, VdB 141 or Sh2-136 is also known as the Ghost Nebula, seen toward the bottom of the featured image. Within the reflection nebula are the telltale signs of dense cores collapsing in the early stages of star formation. Tour the Universe: Random APOD Generator
