Gemini South telescope captures image of Chamaeleon Infrared Nebula
The Chamaeleon Infrared Nebula is an outflow of gas that resides in the larger Chamaeleon I dark cloud (one of the closest star-forming regions of the Milky Way), and adjacent to the Chamaeleon II and Chamaeleon III dark clouds. These three dark clouds—a type of nebula so dense that it obscures light—are known collectively as the Chamaeleon Complex, a large area of star formation.
