2023年5月31日 · Two cometary nebulae are seen at the center of LDN 43. The first, GN 16.31.7, is the brightest yellow object at center, lit up by the hidden young star RNO 91. Slightly above and left is the 2nd cometary nebula, GN 16.31.3, lit up by RNO 90. The small galaxy seen below LDN 43, just to the left of a bright orange star, is LEDA 3868080.

One contender is LDN 43, which bears an astonishing resemblance to a vast cosmic bat flying amongst the stars on a dark Halloween night. Located about 1400 light years away in the constellation Ophiuchus , this molecular cloud is dense enough to block light not only from background stars, but from wisps of gas lit up by the nearby reflection ...

2023年8月17日 · This dark nebula, LND 43, is located in the constellation of Ophiuchus. It is obscuring a larger bright nebula behind it, LBN 7. LBN 7 is the illuminated dust surrounding the dark nebula.

Snaking across the starfields of the constellation Ophiuchus, LDN 43 is an obscure dark nebula and star forming region that contains the embedded reflection nebulae RNO 90 and RNO 91, which are illuminated by young stellar objects (YSO).

2024年9月22日 · LDN 43 is a dark nebula lying about 1,400 light years in the southern part of the Ophiuchus constellation. It is often called the Cosmic Bat, and it’s easy to see why. The bat-like dark nebula obscures an even larger, bright nebula lying behind it and imparting a glow to the edges of the dust.

LBN 7 and LDN 43, The Cosmic Bat Nebula. This elusive creature is buried in the dark dust tail of the Blue Horsehead nebula IC 4592/LDN 1712 that resides is Scorpius. Somewhat small in this wide-field image.

2022年7月5日 · LDN 43 or "The Bat Signal Nebula" Situated in Ophiuchus, this is rarely imaged and is a dark nebula consisting of very dense material which blocks light from background stars. It frames LBN 7 a bright reflection nebula. Inside the dark nebula area are two cometary nebulae GN 16.31.3 and GN 16.31.7) Processed using Pixinsight and Photoshop.

2022年10月31日 · Photographer Mark Hanson captured what he describes as the “rarely-imaged” LDN 43, a dark nebula that is made up of very dense material and blocks light from surrounding stars, creating a shape...
