Best Corona Australis
NGC 6727 is a reflection nebula located in the constellation Corona Australis, approximately 430 light-years from Earth, making it one of the closest star-forming regions to our solar system. The nebula is often studied alongside nearby objects NGC 6726 and NGC 6729, which together form the Corona A...
NGC 6726 is a reflection nebula located in the southern constellation Corona Australis. Reflection nebulae are clouds of interstellar dust that scatter and reflect light from nearby stars rather than emitting their own visible light, giving them a characteristic blue appearance. NGC 6726 is often ob...
The R Coronae Australis Nebula is a cloud of interstellar gas and dust in the constellation Corona Australis, associated with the young variable star R Coronae Australis. Its best known component, NGC 6729, is a variable reflection and emission nebula whose apparent brightness and shape can change a...
NGC 6729 is a variable emission and reflection nebula located within the Corona Australis molecular cloud complex. Discovered by astronomer Julius Schmidt in 1861, the cloud's illumination is driven by the variable young T Tauri star R Coronae Australis. As the brightness of R CrA fluctuates, the as...
The Corona Australis Nebula is a dense molecular cloud and active star-forming region located roughly 130 parsecs away in the southern constellation of Corona Australis. Distinguished by its thick interstellar dust, the cloud obscures background light while illuminating several embedded reflection n...
The Corona Australis Dark Cloud is a dense molecular cloud located in the southern constellation of Corona Australis. It is one of the closest known star-forming regions to our solar system, making it a frequent subject of astronomical study. The cloud is characterized by its dark, dust-rich composi...
Meridiana is the official proper name approved by the International Astronomical Union for Alpha Coronae Australis, the brightest star in the southern constellation Corona Australis. Located roughly 130 light-years from Earth, it is a white A-type star and part of a binary system. The name distingui...
Alphekka Meridiana is a traditional name for Alpha Coronae Australis, the brightest star in Corona Australis, the Southern Crown. The star is a white A-type object in a binary system located roughly 130 light-years from Earth. The International Astronomical Union has approved the shorter proper name...
The Corona Australis Molecular Cloud is a dark nebula in the southern sky, notable for being one of the closest and most active star-forming regions to our Solar System.
Bernes 149 is a cometary reflection nebula located in the Chamaeleon I dark cloud, noted for its association with low-mass star formation processes in the southern sky.
