Dark Wolf Nebula SL 17: This very dense and compact Dark Nebula in the constellation of Scorpius is called Dark Wolf Nebula.The reason for this is easily recognized. The dark silhouetted region of gas and dust blocks the light of thousands of stars behind it, belonging to the huge Emission Nebula RCW 113 which emits strong H-alpha radiation.
