      Rotten Fish Nebula

      also known as the Rotten Fish Nebula, is a prominent dark molecular cloud in the constellation Cepheus, about 1,000 light-years away, known for active star formation, revealing newborn stars and outflows (Herbig-Haro objects) amidst its dense dust, making it a popular target for astro-photographers exploring early stellar evolution in the nearby Cepheus Flare region.
