Description

LDN 1251 is a dark nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. Dark nebulae are dense regions of gas and dust that obstruct the light from background stars and other celestial objects, making them appear as dark patches against the backdrop of the brighter Milky Way. LDN 1251 is part of a larger molecular cloud complex that includes several star-forming regions.
