The Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is a complex of interstellar clouds with different nebulae, particularly a dark nebula which is centered 1° south of the star ρ Ophiuchi, which it among others extends to, of the constellation Ophiuchus.

2023年7月28日 · The Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is a large complex of bright and dark nebulae located 460 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus. It surrounds the star system Rho Ophiuchi and is one of the nearest star-forming regions to the Sun.

2023年3月16日 · Reflection nebula is the name for the kind of bright bluish halo extending around Rho Ophiuchi. The dark nebulae that streak out around Rho Ophiuchi extend for 100 light-years into...

Rho Ophiuchi is the small group of stars in the blue nebulosity (IC 4604). The central pair is known as Rho Ophiuchi AB. It consists of at least two blue-colored subgiants or main-sequence stars, designated Rho Ophiuchi A and B, respectively. [11]

2020年9月13日 · The nebula lies a degree south of Rho Ophiuchi and stretches across an area of 4.5 by 6.5 degrees of the sky. It is composed of emission, reflection and dark nebulae. The brightest parts of the cloud complex include the nebulae IC 4604, IC 4603 and IC 4605.

2024年1月1日 · The Rho Ophiuchi Region is a large, complex region of stars, emission nebulae, and dark nebulae covering an area 4.5° by 6.5°. Its impressive size is due to proximity. The Rho...
