The Dark Shark Nebula 🦈

From Starfront Observatories near Brady, Texas – I caught a predator lurking in the depths of Cepheus. LDN 1235, better known as the Dark Shark Nebula, glides through a sea of stars approximately 650 light-years from Earth. The photons in this image left this cosmic nursery around the year 1375 – as the Renaissance was beginning to dawn in Europe and the Ming Dynasty was rising in China.
