Description

The Cave nebula is an interesting complex with a lot going on. In the foreground is a molecular cloud that creates blue reflection nebulae around some of the stars. You can also see this as a faint blue-white haze in some parts of the image. Behind that are the tendrils of a dust cloud creating a dark nebula that obscures parts of the glowing red hydrogen cloud creating an emission nebula in the background.
