| → | ||
The Crooki AA-A h1 nebula, nicknamed the Lonely Lantern nebula, is the westernmost one in the galaxy. It's a dark cloud that's not much larger than most planetary nebulae though. There are no stars inside of it, so it can only be viewed from the outside: there are a number of systems around, as it's 700 ly above the galactic plane, down the middle of a galactic arm. Since the cloud is so small, it only offers good views from the closest stars around it: however, being this far up above the Perseus Arm offers some good views of the galaxy instead. Intrepid pilots flying ships with high jump ranges can travel as far as 1,600 ly above to get an even better view.

However, as it's a dark cloud that's 700 ly above the galactic plane, it's usually only visible if it's viewed with the Milky Way behind it.
