| Notes: | Barnard 174 (=LDN1164) is a very dense dark nebula, which absorbs the light of the stars behind the nebula. Infrared observations show many young stars in this region. So, B174 is an active star forming region. The above image shows a very small nebula with an intense red color in the north eastern part of the dark nebula. This nebula is a Herbig Haro object (HH354), a further sign for star forming. | |
