      Explanation: An unassuming region in the constellation Taurus holds   
      these dark and dusty nebulae. Scattered through the scene, stars in   
      multiple star systems are forming within their natal Taurus molecular   
      cloud complex some 450 light-years away. Millions of years young and   
      still going through stellar adolescence, the stars are variable in   
      brightness and in the late phases of their gravitational collapse.   
      Known as T-Tauri class stars they tend to be faint and take on a   
      yellowish hue in the image. One of the brightest T-Tauri stars in   
      Taurus, V773 (aka HD283447) is near the center of the telescopic frame   
      that spans over 1 degree. Toward the top is the dense, dark marking on   
      the sky cataloged as Barnard 209.
