Rho Ophiuchi nebulosity
Rho Ophiuchi nebulosity. Optical image of nebulosity in the region of the star Rho Ophiuchi (purple, just above centre). North is at top. This star is swathed in purple nebulosity, the reflection nebula IC 4604, in which dust particles reflect the stars light. The bright star Antares (Alpha Scorpii, red) is also seen. To the right of this star is the bright globular cluster M4 (NGC 6121, pink), with the star Sigma Scorpii (purple) above it. Sigma Scorpii is surrounded by an emission nebula, which glows as its gas is excited by the stars radiation. Dark lanes of dust are seen at upper centre, obscuring the light of the dense starfields in this region

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Rho Ophiuchi nebulosity. In this optical image, we are presented with a stunning display of celestial wonders. The star Rho Ophiuchi stands at the center, enveloped in a magnificent purple haze known as the reflection nebula IC 4604. This ethereal phenomenon occurs when dust particles reflect the brilliant light emitted by nearby stars. As our gaze wanders across the frame, we encounter Antares, also known as Alpha Scorpii, radiating its fiery red glow. To its right lies M4, a vibrant pink globular cluster named NGC 6121. Just above it is Sigma Scorpii surrounded by an emission nebula that illuminates through gas excited by stellar radiation. The upper center reveals dark lanes of dust obscuring dense starfields within this region. It serves as a reminder that even amidst such cosmic splendor, there are hidden mysteries waiting to be unveiled. This awe-inspiring photograph not only showcases the intricate interplay between stars and their surroundings but also offers us a glimpse into the captivating world of stellar formation and evolution. Its sheer magnificence reminds us of our place in the vastness of space and ignites curiosity about what other secrets lie beyond our reach. Photo credit: Science Photo Library
