At a distance of 1,400 light-years, the constellation Ophiuchus hides not darkness, but a maternity ward for stars.
This dense cloud of dust and gas is so thick that it blocks out even the light of stars and nearby nebulae. But inside, everything is boiling: young stars have already lit up this βspace bat,β and now they illuminate the nebula from within.
12 light-years long, the light is reflected, the shapes shimmer β and all this creates the feeling that before us is cosmic mythology in real time.
