Best Chamaeleon
Chamaeleon I is a dark molecular cloud and an active low-mass star-forming region in the southern constellation Chamaeleon. It lies roughly 500 to 630 light-years from Earth, placing it among the closest known stellar nurseries. Dense dust obscures parts of the cloud at visible wavelengths, while in...
IC 2631 is a reflection nebula located in the southern constellation of Chamaeleon, situated within the larger Chamaeleon star-forming complex. The nebula's bluish appearance is created by starlight scattering off surrounding interstellar dust, primarily illuminated by the young stellar object HD 97...
Ced 110, also known as Cederblad 110, is a reflection nebula located within the Chamaeleon I molecular cloud complex. Illuminated by embedded young stars, the cloud of interstellar dust scatters blue light, making it visible to astronomers. The region is notable for its active star formation and the...
NGC 3195 is a planetary nebula in the southern constellation Chamaeleon. It was discovered by the English astronomer John Herschel in 1835 and is also designated Caldwell 109, placing it in the Caldwell catalogue of selected deep-sky objects. As a planetary nebula, it is a glowing shell of gas assoc...
The Chamaeleon II Cloud, often abbreviated Cha II, is a dark molecular cloud and low-mass star-forming region in the Chamaeleon complex. An Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array survey examined 29 protoplanetary disks in the region and detected 22 sources in 1.3-millimetre continuum emission....
The Chamaeleon I Cloud is a dark molecular cloud in the southern constellation Chamaeleon and a region where new stars are forming. Dense, cold gas and dust in the cloud block visible light and provide the material from which low-mass stars and young stellar objects develop; astronomers study it to...
