“Chamaeleon Dark Nebulas” is copyrighted by Jarmo Ruuth, Telescope Live, Heaven's Mirror Observatory. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteIn the far-south constellation Chamaeleon, dark dust clouds show an angular elegance. Normally, this dust blocks visible light, but here it glows in its own light, showing strong red and near-infrared colors. The bright star Beta Chamaeleontis, contrastingly blue, is visible just to the right of the center.
