Iapetus, moon of Saturn, observed by the Cassini probe on September 10, 2007, from a distance of about 73,000 kilometers.

Charon, moon of Pluto, observed by NASA's New Horizons probe just before closest approach on this day in 2015. (It flew within 12,500 km of Pluto and as close as 27,000 km to Charon.)

Lynds Dark Nebula 1251 : Stars are forming in Lynds Dark Nebula (LDN) 1251. About 1,000 light-years away and drifting above the plane of our Milky Way galaxy, the dusty molecular cloud is part of a complex of dark nebulae mapped toward the Cepheus flare region. Across the spectrum, astronomical explorations of the obscuring interstellar clouds reveal energetic shocks and outflows associated with newborn stars, including the telltale reddish glow from scattered Herbig-Haro objects seen in this sharp image. Distant background galaxies also lurk on the scene, buried behind the dusty expanse. This alluring view imaged with a backyard telescope and broadband filters spans about two full moons on the sky, or 17 light-years at the estimated distance of LDN 1251. via NASA
