Dark nebulae are a type of interstellar cloud that is dense enough to obscure the light from objects behind them, such as stars and other celestial bodies. Unlike diffuse nebulae, which are composed of gas and dust and can often emit their own light (typically due to excited hydrogen gas), dark nebulae primarily absorb light, creating visually dark patches against the backdrop of brighter stars or regions of space.
