dark cloud  

Definición

  • A relatively dense cloud of interstellar gas, mainly molecular, whose dust particles obscure the light of stars behind it. A famous example is the Horsehead Nebula silhouetted against the reddish glow of the H II region IC 434. Individual dark clouds come in a range of sizes from tens of light-years to tiny Bok globules of only a few thousands astronomical units.
