The Corona Australis Nebula is a reflection nebula located in the constellation Corona Australis. This nebula results from several bright stars embedded within a large, dusty cloud. This complex nebula is situated at a distance of 420 light-years from Earth, making it one of the closest regions of significant star formation to our planet. It is part of a larger molecular cloud complex. In this region, new stars are actively forming, and the nebula's dense dust clouds obscure and scatter the light from these young, forming stars, creating the characteristic blue hue of reflection nebulae. Observations of the Corona Australis Nebula have provided valuable insights into the processes of star formation and the structure of interstellar clouds.

Oh my god this is beautiful

Might be some of the prettiest IFN I've ever seen in an image

its not ifn

#

its a molecular cloud complex

good rule of thumb is, if its dense, its not IFN, and if its near the galactic plane, its probably not either

Ah ok

#

The way I see it is if it's dust not normally illuminated by anything, only resolvable by lots and lots of integration time, it's IFN. But if it's dust surrounding a galaxy, it's tidal dust. I'm probably wrong but that's just how I've known it until now I guess

ifn is dust outside of the milkyway illuminated only by the integrated flux of the milky way
