The Serpens–Aquila Rift is a region of space that contains a dense concentration of interstellar dust and gas, located between the constellations of Serpens and Aquila. This area is notable for its obscuration of background stars and is associated with active star formation. The rift's dense dust clouds act as a barrier that prevents visible light from passing through, which is why it appears as a dark band in the Milky Way when viewed from Earth.
