Cosmic dust clouds and interstellar medium.A cosmic dust cloud is an immense gathering of particles, such as atoms, molecules, and grains of dust, in space that obscures or scatters light from distant stars or galaxies. These clouds are often found in regions where new stars are forming, known as star-forming regions. The interstellar medium (ISM) is the material that fills the space between the stars within a galaxy and includes gas, dust, and cosmic rays. It plays an important role in the formation of galaxies and the evolution of stellar systems. This image shows a stunning view of a cosmic dust cloud and the interstellar medium, with swirling patterns of light and dark creating a mesmerizing display of celestial beauty. AI Generated
