The Taurus Molecular Cloud: Wide-field view | ESO
This image shows a wide-field view of part of the Taurus Molecular Cloud, about 430 light-years from Earth. Its relative closeness makes it an ideal place to study the formation of stars. Many dark clouds of obscuring dust are clearly visible against the background stars.
