IC 2948 is a bright emission nebula in the southern constellation
of Centaurus. Seen in silhouette near the center of the view are small,
dark clouds of obscuring cosmic dust. Called Thackeray's Globules
for their discoverer, they are potential sites for the formation of new stars,
but are likely being eroded by the intense radiation from
the nearby young stars.
