Observation data: J2000 epoch | |
Right ascension | 15h 54m 12.2s [1] |
Declination | −02° 49′ 42″ [1] |
Distance | 360[ citation needed] ly |
Apparent diameter | 75′ [1] |
Constellation | Serpens |
Designations | LDN 134N |
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.
