L183

L183 or L134N is a much-studied pre-stellar core in the constellation Serpens Cauda 360 light-years away. This massive accumulation of gas and dust was the interstellar object in which the phenomenon of coreshine was first investigated by astronomers and produced a new means of probing its previously opaque core.[1][2]
