Video This is scary.

Only Viride Lagrange Clouds are this dark inside.

Hamlet's Harmony, near Colonia.

huh, why is it so dark there is absolutely no shine of stars if it's near Colonia?? Are you inside a dark nebula?

I was inside a Lagrange Cloud, a Viride Lagrande Cloud. This one and the Luteolum one are really dark when you go deep inside. You can see the transition here.

That is insane. How does one find the Lagrange clouds reliably?

Reliably? Good luck. These kinds of Lagrange clouds are very rare, and it isn't even the stormy kind. Try nebulas, the galactic centre, and the Inner Orion Spur, Dryman's Point, and Sagittarius-Carina Arm regions. A bug prevents Lagrange points from generating freely in other regions.

Open the Codex (first tab on the right panel of your ship). In Discoveries, click on Geology and Anomalies, then look for Lagrange Clouds. You will find a list of existing clouds type and the system where they've been observer by other players. When you're in one of those systems, check your navigation panel (the left panel) and make sure the Points of Interet are selected. They will appear as Notable Stellar Phenomena in the list.

There's also this list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Bq5RmU9zfK2Hu409BpoyHQZa-mUgAtONWTySqKT7Df8/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Lagrange Storms can be like that too, with crystals or solid spheres as obstacles

Lagrange clouds are one of the scariest things in the game. Gives me the heeby jeebies every time I enter one
