      Explanation: The cosmic brush of star formation composed this   
      interstellar canvas of emission, dust, and dark nebulae. A 5 degree   
      wide telescopic mosaic, it frames a region found north of bright star   
      Aldebaran on the sky, at an inner wall of the local bubble along the   
      Taurus molecular cloud. At lower left, emission cataloged as Sh2-239   
      shows signs of embedded young stellar objects. The region's Herbig-Haro   
      objects, nebulosities associated with newly born stars, are marked by   
      tell-tale reddish jets of shocked hydrogen gas. Above and right T   
      Tauri, the prototype of the class of T Tauri variable stars, is next to   
      a yellowish nebula historically known as Hind's Variable Nebula (NGC   
      1555). T Tauri stars are now generally recognized as young, less than a   
      few million years old, sun-like stars still in the early stages of   
      formation.
