Opsomming

BeskrywingDark Rift 2012.jpg	English: Thick dust clouds block our night-time view of the Milky Way, creating what is sometimes called the Dark Rift. Thick dust clouds also populate the galaxy. And while infrared telescopes can see them clearly, our eyes detect these dark clouds only as irregular patches where they dim or block the Milky Way's faint glow. The most prominent dark lane stretches from the constellations Cygnus to Sagittarius and is often called the Great Rift, sometimes the Dark Rift.
