Rho, Rho, Rho your boat down the Ophiuchi
Rho, Rho, Rho your boat down the Ophiuchi
Seen from both Northern and Southern hemispheres, although a lot of the UK won't get to see this delight as it's low in altitude - here is Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex.
Believed to be just 460 LY from Earth, it is one of the closet star-forming regions to our own solar system. There are a lot of complex interstellar clouds and dark nebulae all shown in this image.
I've tried to lift out the dust as well as trying to make the yellow, blue and red all stand out.
