Description:

A colorful gem of the southern sky: This image captures the reflection nebulae Ced 110 and Ced 111 in Chamaeleon, nestled within the delicate dust clouds of one of the nearest star-forming regions. While Ced 111 glows in cool blue, Ced 110 radiates warm yellow. Fiery red Herbig-Haro objects reveal the dynamic birth of new stars.
