Description:
VdB 141 or Sh2-136, commonly known as the Phantom Nebula because of its shape, is an isolated Bok globule. Bok globules are the areas inside a nebula where gas condenses and new stars begin to form. This nebula is immersed in a large area of interstellar dust that weakly reflects light from nearby stars and emerges, as in this case, in long-exposure photographs.
