Central region of the Chamaeleon I dark molecular cloud. Cloud material (blue, centre) is illuminated by the young, outflowing protostar Ced 110 IRS 4 (orange, upper left). Background stars behind the cloud are seen as orange dots. Different ices in the clouds absorb this starlight as it passes through them. Chamaeleon I is 630 light years from Earth.
