APOD 2.1-Ghost of the Cepheus Flare

In the constellation Cepheus, the 'Ghost of Cepheus Flare' seems to have spooky shapes in the galaxy. Of course, these shapes are just cosmic dust clouds that are faintly visible in dimly reflected starlight, duh. This picture shows are pretty clear astronomical object called Cepheus Flare, which contains several star forming regions. It is located in the northern Milky Way, and like mentioned before in the constellation Cepheus. This molecular clous is located 1,200 light years away. About 2 light years across this ghostly nebula lies a relatively isolated Bok globule is near the center of the field. The core of this dark cloud on the right of this picture is collapsing and resembles a binary star in the early stages. If this creepy/spooky shape could talk it would probably say how chait halloween was.
