Ldn67

At a distance of about 600 light years from us, LDN 673 is a dark nebula covering almost a full degree of sky in the constellation of Aquila.

The nebula is superimposed upon the thick molecular clouds within the Milky Way.

The dust in these molecular clouds scatters the blue light from these stars, giving the surrounding stars a decidedly yellow-red bias.
