LDN 43 Nebula 

Picture
The Bat in Ophiuchus

is an obscure, absorption nebula and star forming region approximately 500 light-years from Earth.
Observations with radio telescopes have uncovered multiple molecular outflows in the vicinity of RNO 91,
the face of 'the bat.' This is illuminated by a T Tauri star, known to be encircled by a protoplanetary disk- a solar system in the making.
  
Many thanks go out to my collaborator and friend, Mike Selby, who acquired and calibrated this fine data.
