Astronomers Spot Mysterious 'Wolf Face' in Space
Astronomers have captured a stunning image of the Black Wolf Nebula, a dark nebula in the Scorpius constellation, using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. Located 5,300 light-years from Earth, this nebula's wolf-like shape is an optical illusion created by dense dust clouds blocking light from behind. Dark nebulae, like the Black Wolf, are stellar nurseries where new stars form. The image highlights the contrast between the dark nebula and surrounding glowing gas clouds, showcasing the cosmic interplay of light and shadow.
