“Barnard 228: The Dark Wolf Nebula in Lupus” is copyrighted by Gabriel Rodrigues Santos. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThese dark markings are found in the southern constellation of Lupus the Wolf, silhouetted against a rich background of stars. The dusty, obscuring clouds are part of the Lupus Molecular Cloud, about 500 light-years distant. Packs of low-mass stars are forming within these clouds, in collapsing cores only visible at long infrared wavelengths. Colorful stars in Lupus add to this galactic skyscape, which spans about eight degrees of the sky.
