Description

IC 2944, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula, (I've always like  to think she is trying to protect her eggs, AKA The Pearl Cluster at the top of this image!) the Lambda Centauri Nebula or the λ Centauri Nebula, is an open cluster with an associated emission nebula found in the constellation Centaurus, near the star λ Centauri. It features Boo Globules, which are frequently a site of active star formation. However, no evidence for star formation has been found in any of the globules in IC 2944. Other designations for IC 2944 include RCW 62, G40 and G42.NGC 3766 (also known as Caldwell 97) is an open cluster in the southern constellation Centaurus.
Am a bit of a softie so have dedicated this one to a few of our loved pets, of course chickens,,, Janeway, B'lana, Seven of Nine and Beverley.
