Looking very much like a deadly virus, LDN 673 is located in the constellation Aquila. This dark nebula is at a distance of about 600 light years. Expansive molecular clouds in the Aquila rift make the distant stars appear reddish, while the very dense LDN 673 nebula completely blocks the starlight. LDN 673 is part of a giant cloud of dust and gas. It is fragmented into many pieces, inside of which are forming stars. Some of these stars are illuminating parts of the nebula, such as in the upper-right and lower-right region.

Amazing! You have a real twist for describing the phenomenon!
Thanks Letitia!
Your nebulae are all astounding, so are the stars. Thank you for sharing via multiple sources, Astrobin included (that’s how I found you)!
