Description

LDN 673 is part of a giant cloud of dust and gas in the constellation of Aquila. It is fragmented into many pieces and filaments, inside of which are forming stars: some are visible here as red furnaces emerging from the darkness of the cloud, i.e. the Herbig Haro 32 pointed in the annotated version.

Close to the right image border is the Open Cluster Berkeley 43, whose estimated distance is around 10000 ly.
