LDN 673

LDN 673 is a highly fragmented and dense molecular cloud complex located approximately 600 light-years from Earth within the Aquila constellation. At least twelve Herbig-Haro objects within LDN 673 have been identified, which are indicative of energetic outflows from newly forming protostars. Observations indicate that the region is in the early stages of gravitational collapse and fragmentation.
