Description

Description

Cederblad 111 (Ced 111) is a blue reflection region in the southern constellation of Chamaeleon (Cha), and is part of one of the closest (~550 light years) dark cloud complexes to the Sun. Ced 110 is the bright reflection with the distinct bright arc. Both are part of Cha I dark cloud complex. The median age is estimated at ~2 Myr. The cloud complex is a stellar nursery and many new stars have been detected through their variability and H-a emission. The bright, cone-shaped object is the Chamaeleon Infrared Nebula (IRN). The small, elongated, bright red objects at the center of the image are Hebrig-Haro objects (HH 49-50), which form from a collision between ionized jets of gas ejected from newly born stars and the surrounding cloud.
