   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.
