APOD 1.3

The image aboves shows with high-definition clarity as cosmic dust clouds make their way near the boundary of Corona Australis, commonly known as southern crown. What is very interesting about this picture is the reflection and presentation of the light due to the interference from the cosmic clouds with the nebula also seen in the picture. The different nebulas are labeled in this picture. I chose this picture because i constantly see pictures on the interenet depicting nebulas and the interesting colors they create, but I have previously never fully known the cause or how to identify them. Choosing this picture allowed me to learn a little bit more and understand why these pictures appear the way they do.
