“Chamaeleon I Molecular Cloud” is copyrighted by Robert Eder. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteDark markings and bright nebulae in the Chamaeleon I molecular cloud indicate active star formation. Located about 650 light-years away, this region is a stellar nursery. Dusty reflection nebulae like Ced 110 and Ced 111 glow blue from scattered starlight, while the orange, V-shaped Cha 1-2 reflection nebula stands out, showing where new stars are emerging from their dusty cocoons.
