The Verant's Head Nebula is a reflection nebula located in the spinward part of Argent Sector, within the Empty Stars.
- It is an astrographic feature and a nebula.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The Verant's Head Nebula is a large dim group of gases and dark clouds measuring around 9 parsecs coreward-rimward by 10 parsecs spinward-trailing.
- It is classified as a reflection nebula and is primarily formed of ionized gases, thrown off by the stars at its center many millennia ago.
- The gases consist of about 90% hydrogen, with the remainder made up of helium, oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements. The clouds have a mean density of 102–106 particles/cm³.
