In the dusty sky toward the constellation Taurus and the Orion Arm of our Milky Way Galaxy, this broad mosaic follows dark and faint reflection nebulae along the region’s fertile molecular cloud. The six degree wide field of view starts with long dark nebula LDN 1495 stretching from the lower left, and extends beyond the (upside down) bird-like visage of the Baby Eagle Nebula, LBN 777, at lower right. Small bluish reflection nebulae surround scattered fainter Taurus stars, sights often skipped over in favor of the constellation’s better known, brighter celestial spectacles. Associated with the young, variable star RY Tau, the yellowish nebula VdB 27 is toward the upper left. Only 400 light-years or so distant, the Taurus molecular cloud is one of the closest regions of low-mass star formation. At that distance this dark vista would span over 40 light-years.

在多塵的天空中，面向金牛座和我們銀河系的獵戶臂，這幅廣闊的馬賽克圖展示了沿著區域富饒的分子雲的黑暗和微弱的反射星雲。這個六度寬的視野從長長的黑暗星雲LDN 1495開始，伸展至右下方的（倒過來的）像小鷹的嬰兒鷹星雲LBN 777。散落的微弱金牛座恆星周圍環繞著小藍色反射星雲，這些景象經常被跳過，因為金牛座裡有更知名、更明亮的天體。在左上方，與年輕、變星RY Tau相關的淡黃星雲VdB 27。在距離約400光年的地方，金牛分子雲是最接近的低質量恆星形成區之一。在這個距離下，這片黑暗的視野跨越了超過40光年。
