Description

LDN 673 is a highly segmented molecular cloud complex in the constellation of Aquila, in the middle of the so-called »Aquila Rift«, a dark area of the summer Milky Way that is filled with dark clouds. The dense clouds are around 300 to 600 light-years away from us and are spread over 7 light-years. In two places, the dust clouds reflect the light of nearby stars. One is GN 19.18.0 and the other is V1352, a variable T Tauri star. These objects are indicative of active star formation. They are associated with compact emission nebulae (Herbig-Haro objects).
