The Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex is a complex of interstellar clouds with different nebulae, particularly dark nebulae which is centered 1° south of the star ρ Ophiuchi, which it among others extends to, of the constellation Ophiuchus. At an estimated distance of 131 ± 3 parsecs, or 460 light years, it is one of the closest star-forming regions to the Solar System (wikipedia)

Thanks for looking!
