This Hubble image captures a portion of a dark nebula in the constellation Cepheus. Dark nebulae ― also called absorption nebulae ― are clouds of gas and dust that neither emit nor reflect light, instead blocking light coming from behind them. These nebulae tend to contain large amounts of dust, which allows them to absorb visible light from stars or nebulae beyond them.

we called it the traveler, and its arrival changed us forever. great cities were built on mars and venus. mercury became a garden world. human lifespan tripled. it was a time of miracles. we stared out at the galaxy and knew that it was our DESTINY to walk in the light of other stars.
