“Dark Clouds in Aquila” is copyrighted by Adam Block. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Aquila Rift is a dark cloud of dust and gas that stretches across the Milky Way's plane. It blocks the light from background stars, appearing as a dark silhouette. Astronomers are studying this region, which contains enough material to form hundreds of thousands of new stars. They are searching for signs of star birth within these dense molecular clouds.
