“The Dark River to Antares” is copyrighted by M�ximo Ruiz. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Dark River is a flowing dark cloud connecting the Pipe Nebula to the bright star Antares. This murkiness is caused by dust absorbing background starlight. Antares, appearing yellow, is embedded in the colorful Rho Ophiuchi nebula clouds. The Dark River spans over 20 times the angular diameter of the Moon.
