A stunning image of the reflection nebula in Corona Australis. Flowing trails of dust, appearing bluer near bright stars, absorb and reflect light. Dense dust knots, obscuring background stars, indicate molecular clouds where new stars are forming. The nebula is approximately 500 light-years away and spans about 5 degrees.

A stunning image of a star-forming region in the Corona Australis constellation, resembling a baboon's face. The "eyes" are blue reflection nebulae (NGC 6726, 6727, 6729, and IC 4812), and the "mouth" is a red emission nebula glowing from hydrogen gas. A distant globular cluster (NGC 6723) is visible near the "head." The brown dust clouds obscure background stars, highlighting the active stellar nursery just 500 light-years away.
