这个布满尘埃的区域正在形成恒星。这个区域是一个庞大的分子云复合体的一部分，对一些人来说，它就像一只狂暴的狒狒，距离南冕星座相对近500光年。这大约是更著名的恒星摇篮猎户座星云距离的三分之一。棕色尘埃云与明亮的星云混合在一起，有效地阻挡了来自银河系中更远的背景恒星的光线，并且遮挡了仍在形成过程中的嵌入恒星的视线。在这张特色图像中，尘埃生物的眼睛实际上是蓝色反射星云，编号为NGC 6726、6727、6729和IC 4812，而红色的嘴则因氢气发出的光而发光。就在狒狒头部的左上方是NGC 6723，一个完整的球状星团，距离我们近3万光年。探索你的宇宙：随机APOD生成器

This dusty region is forming stars. Part of a sprawling molecular cloud complex that resembles, to some, a rampaging baboon, the region is a relatively close by 500 light-years away toward the constellation Corona Australis. That's about one third the distance of the more famous stellar nursery known as the Orion Nebula. Mixed with bright nebulosities, the brown dust clouds effectively block light from more distant background stars in the Milky Way and obscure from view embedded stars still in the process of formation. The eyes of the dust creature in the featured image are actually blue reflection nebulas cataloged as NGC 6726, 6727, 6729, and IC 4812, while the red mouth glows with light emitted by hydrogen gas. Just to the upper left of the baboon's head is NGC 6723, a whole globular cluster of stars nearly 30,000 light years in the distance. Explore Your Universe: Random APOD Generator
