The L134/L183 is a dark nebula complex that, along with a third cloud, is likely formed by fragments of a single original cloud located 36 degrees away from the galactic plane, a large distance for dark nebulae.[91] The entire complex is thought to be around 140 parsecs distant.[92] L183, also referred to as L134N, is home to several infrared sources, indicating pre-stellar sources[93] thought to present the first known observation of the contraction phase between cloud cores and prestellar cores.[94] The core is split into three regions,[95] with a combined mass of around 25 solar masses.[96]
