Inside the Coal Sack, dust would obscure the background stars. Inside the Orion Nebula, luminous young suns would appear as bright as Jupiter and Venus.
What would we see if the solar system were located in a dark nebula like the Coal Sack? Would things look much different from inside a bright nebula such as the Orion?
