Dark Clouds of Taurus
Just under M45 and the California nebula in the constellation of Taurus lies The Taurus Molecular Cloud.
Massive clouds of dust and gas like these, fascinate me very much. So beautiful how they all seem to flow together over gigantic distances.
This cloud hosts a stellar nursery containing hundreds of newly formed stars. The Taurus Molecular Cloud is only 140 pc (430 ly) away from Earth, making it possibly the nearest large star formation region.
