The R Coronae Australis region, imaged with the Wide Field Imager at the European Southern Observatory's La Silla Observatory. R Coronae Australis is a star located in the Corona Australis constellation. According to ESO, "the light blue nebulosity seen in this picture is mostly due to the reflection of starlight off small dust particles."Photograph: ESO
This object deserves a LOT more web space than this!
[edit]This is a fascinating area to observe. Two variable stars, a variable nebula, a comet-like nebula, a globular cluster, vast differences in the stellar background in a small area ... a casual reader could not glean any of this from this stub article 124.183.26.181 (talk) 08:35, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
