In the top panels, images of the Lupus 2 and Lupus 3 complexes illustrate the intricate and diverse morphology of dust clouds. The panels in the center portray parts of the Chamaeleon region, which includes young stars that form spectacular cloud shapes, featuring large, cone-shaped reflection cavities. In the bottom-left panel, the Coronet cluster in the Corona Australis star-forming complex is seen illuminating large parts of the surrounding gas and dust. In the bottom right panel, the star-disk-envelope system of a deeply embedded young star becomes visible. By tracing the dust cavity toward the lower left of the image, a faint part of an outflow, ejected from the protostar, can be distinguished.
