RCW 85, a faint interstellar cloud of glowing hydrogen gas and dust, shines in the southern skies between Alpha and Beta Centauri. This cosmic skyscape, composed of 28 hours of exposures, reveals detailed structures along its well-defined rims. It sits about 5,000 light years away, a region where new stars are forming.
