CB 130-3 (also known as LDN 507) is a dense carbon-chain rich molecular cloud located in the constellation of Serpens about 253 light years (200 pc) away from Earth. Objects like CB 130-3 form many new stars through stellar formation. The central dense areas are dark orange clouds surrounded by a light blue haze of gas. The central dense cloud of gas blocks out background light from stars entirely.
