“Stars and Dust in Corona Australis” is copyrighted by StarryScapes. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteA cosmic dust cloud sprawls across a rich field of stars in Corona Australis, the Southern Crown. This dust cloud, probably less than 500 light-years away, blocks light from more distant background stars in the Milky Way. Its densest part is about 8 light-years long, with lovely blue nebulae like NGC 6726, 6727, 6729, and IC 4812 at its tip. Their blue color comes from starlight reflecting off the dust.
