A star's apparent magnitude (how bright it seems to us) is affected not only by its luminosity but also its distance from Earth and the interstellar dust that may obscure its light. #ApparentMagnitude #Luminosity #InterstellarDust

A split image showcasing the "coreshine" phenomenon in the Lynds 183 nebula. The left panel (3.6 microns) reveals a bright, elongated core reflecting infrared starlight, while the right panel (8.0 microns) shows the same core appearing dark. This discovery suggests larger-than-expected dust grains in interstellar clouds, impacting our understanding of star and planet formation. The nebula is located 325 light-years away in the constellation Serpens.
