Corona Australis Cloud Complex

Are we really prepared to give up all of this? Are we really willing to never answer the fundamental questions we have been asking since humankind started: where do we come from, what are we made of, where are we going? Light pollution, space pollution, climate change... we are doing our best to give up our own capacity to know a little bit further, and not only that, even to lose our own existence. Are you prepared?

This is NGC6729, a cloud complex in the constellation Corona Australis. Here you can find lots of things happening at the same place (and time): very faint molecular clouds and cool gas that are giving birth to new stars; fantastic double star systems; dense dust that forbids us (at least in the visible spectrum of light) to see all the activity that is going on in them; nebulae with complex structures that not only flow, but swirl, expand and collapse... a space wonder that we are still able to capture from Earth, but that in the near future we can be uncapable to observe and to study.
