      Explanation: Stars are forming in Lynds Dark Nebula (LDN) 1251. About   
      1,000 light-years away and drifting above the plane of our Milky Way   
      galaxy, the dusty molecular cloud is part of a complex of dark nebulae   
      mapped toward the Cepheus flare region. Across the spectrum,   
      astronomical explorations of the obscuring interstellar clouds reveal   
      energetic shocks and outflows associated with newborn stars, including   
      the telltale reddish glow from scattered Herbig-Haro objects hiding in   
      the image. Distant background galaxies also lurk on the scene, almost   
      buried behind the dusty expanse. This alluring view spans over four   
      full moons on the sky, or 35 light-years at the estimated distance of   
      LDN 1251.
