Explanation:
These
dark markings on the sky can just be found
in silhouette against a rich, luminous background of stars.
Seen toward the southern constellation
of Lupus the Wolf, the dusty, obscuring clouds are part of the
Lupus Molecular Cloud some 500 light-years distant.
Packs of low mass stars are forming
within them,
from collapsing cores only visible at long
infrared wavelengths.
Still, colorful stars in Lupus add to this
pretty galactic skyscape.
It spans about 8 degrees, not far from the central Milky Way.
