A Chamaeleon Sky
The Chamaeleon constellation, visible from Earth's southern hemisphere, contains a striking group of nebulae. This image captures a reflection nebula, glowing around a young, bright star, with a dark molecular cloud nearby that blocks the light from more distant stars. These objects are hundreds of light-years away.
