SUMMARY
→	A faint cloud that has survived an encounter with Sagittarius A*.
DESCRIPTION
→	The G2 Dust Cloud is the remnant of an event observed in the 21st century, during which what was then suspected to be a gas cloud encountered Sagittarius A*. Since the event actually happened 26,000 years ago, by today the cloud has travelled quite a distance away from the centre. Explorers who visit it will find that it resembles a small and faint nebula, which can be observed by the naked eye only from within 80 ly. However, from up close, the cloud colours the bright light of the galactic core crimson red, which can make for some unique sights.
