... This beautiful new image shows a glowing cloud of cosmic dust sitting boldly against a backdrop of shining stars. To the naked eye, thick clouds like these appear empty and dark, but some are actually home to the brightest nebulae and hottest young stars in the Universe! Stars are made of gas, so it is no surprise that they are born inside thick, gassy clouds. But the clouds that give birth to stars also block our view of them growing within. ...

The Cosmic InfraRed Background (CIRB) is the radiation from stars in many faint galaxies. ... The near-infrared (wavelengths near 2-3 microns) and optical (wavelengths near 500 nm) part of this extragalactic background light is just starlight redshifted into the infrared. But some starlight is absorbed by dust and re-emitted in the far-infrared (wavelengths near 100 microns). ... The CMB is by far the largest of these radiation fields, with a total intensity of 996 nW/m 2 /sr. ... Part 2 | ...

. This image from the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope at ESOтАЩs La Silla Observatory in Chile shows the bright star cluster NGC 6520 and its neighbour, the strangely shaped dark cloud Barnard 86. This cosmic pair is set against millions of glowing stars from the brightest part of the Milky Way тАФ a region so dense with stars that barely any dark sky is seen across the picture. // ESO

... self-absorption - the absorption of light shining on an object by a process similar to that which produced the light originally; if a cloud emits less light than it absorbs from other clouds behind it, this net loss of light, termed self-absorption , causes the foreground cloud to appear darker than the background field (the term is from spectroscopy, where small absorption dips sometimes occur in larger emission lines, making the latter look as if it is absorbing part of itself) . ...
