COSMIC MESSAGE

Lynds Dark Nebula 43, also known as the Cosmic Bat nebula, is a favorite among astronomers. While its shape looks like a scary flying mammal, this dark nebula is over 12 light-years across. Stars are forming within this dusty interstellar molecular cloud, which is dense enough to appear dark against the background.
