IC 4603: Reflection Nebula in Ophiuchius Image Credit & Copyright: Rolf Olsen. Explanation: Why does this starfield photograph resemble an impressionistic painting? The effect is created not by digital trickery but by large amounts of interstellar dust.

IC 4603 is a nebula in the constellation Ophiuchus. It is usually classified as a blue reflection nebula. The SIMBAD database classifies it as a bright nebula surrounding the bright star SAO 184376. The brightness of the star washes out the reflected color giving the nebula a …

2015年7月8日 · IC 4603 is a reflection-emission nebula located in the constellation Ophiuchus. This image depicts it only partially, because the nebula itself occupies an area of about 45×20 arcmin and the image is 36×36 arcmin. This is a very rich region, with many emission and reflection nebulae, in the Northern half of what is called the “Rho Ophiuci Region”.

C 4603 is the blue nebulosity near the lower edge in this image with IC 4604 being the upper nebulosity surrounding three bright stars. The brightest of these stars is Rho Ophiuchi. There are several Dark Nebulas in this field. Barnard 42 and LDN 1687 are the most prominent and extend beyond this field.

2019年9月13日 · This image shows the core region of the Rho Ophiuchi Complex, centered around the prominent blue reflection nebula IC 4603. The bright star is 7.9 magnitude SAO184376 which is the main source of light for the blue reflection nebula.

This image is an updated version of my 2014 APOD and shows the core region of the Rho Ophiuchi Complex, centered around the prominent blue reflection nebula IC 4603. This is one of the nearest star forming regions and the intricacies of the dense interstellar dust clouds in the area provide a spectacular display of light and shade; the ...

2023年7月28日 · IC 4603 and IC 4605, two other reflection nebulae, are found in the area between Rho Ophiuchi and Antares. IC 4605 surrounds the star 22 Scorpii and IC 4603 the star HD 147889 (SAO 184376). Both stars have the spectra …

2023年5月21日 · IC 4603 is a reflection nebula and part of the Rho Ophiuchi or Antares region. This part of the sky is a very active star forming region and shows spectacular colorful reflection nebulae, as well as dark nebulae. Hidden in those dark nebulae are typicial objects, like Herbig-Haro objects, T-Tauri Stars or so called YSOs, young stellar objects.

2023年12月10日 · This is a narrow-field view of the Rho Ophiuchi Complex. The triple star, Rho Ophiuchi, top center (IC4604), illuminates the blue reflection nebula, extending out of the field of view, at the top of the image. The image shows the core region of the complex, centered around reflection nebula IC 4603, just below the “pitch fork”. Website:

2015年6月2日 · IC 4603 is a large, blue reflection nebula located in Ophiuchus. The nebula is illuminated by HIP 80462 (vdB 105) at the center of this image. Luminance – 12x600s – 120 minutes – binned 1x1
