“T Tauri and Hind's Variable Nebula” is copyrighted by Adam Block. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteT Tauri, the prototype of its class of variable stars, sits near the center of this view. Next to it is Hind's Variable Nebula, NGC 1555, a dusty yellow cloud. Both the star and the nebula vary significantly in brightness, though not always at the same time. This region, over 400 light-years away, is at the edge of a molecular cloud.
