... 2002 October 2 . Star Clouds Toward the Southern Crown . ... Explanation: The flowing trails of dust toward Corona Australis , the constellation of the Southern Crown , are visible here not because they glow , but because they absorb and reflect . The dust appears bluer when seen near bright stars because it preferentially reflects blue light. The densest knots of dust are so thick that no background stars or interior stars can be seen through them. ... About APOD | ...
