This week I decided to look at the APOD titled "Stars and Dust in the Corona Australis. The photo above is a scene almost 500 light years away near the northern end of the Corona Australis. The blue shade in the background comes off of a reflection from a nebula around that are. I mainly chose this APOD because the Southern Crown was one of the constellations that we had to memorize for our constellation quizzes. This nearest star to this photo would be about nine light years away. This picture also shows many new stars in the background.
Isnt the color reflected off the dust clouds so cool?
