The Pipe Nebula is a dark nebula which obscures
the background stars of the Milky Way. A little
imagination might be necessary -- the pipe's
bowl is on the left side of the photo. In this
region are numerous dark nebulae, one of which
is the Snake. This region is enlarged and
contrast enhanced in an inset.
To see this, put your mouse on the image.
