LDN 960 is a dark nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is part of the extensive "Lynds' Catalogue of Dark Nebulae" (LDN), compiled by astronomer Beverly Turner Lynds in 1962. These nebulae are massive, dense clouds of interstellar dust that block the visible light of background stars, appearing as dark, starless voids or silhouettes against brighter cosmic radiation. LDN 961 is a dark nebula listed in the "Lynds' Catalogue of Dark Nebulae" (LDN). It is located in the constellation Cygnus. Covering an area of about 5.0' × 5.0' in the night sky, it lies in a region rich in stars that is often a target for astrophotographers. LDN 964 is a dark nebula listed in the "Lynds' Catalogue of Dark Nebulae" (LDN). This interstellar cloud of gas and dust is so dense that it completely absorbs and obscures the visible light of stars behind it.
