“Dark Nebulae and Star Formation in Taurus” is copyrighted by Vikas Chander. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Taurus molecular cloud contains dark dust that marks regions where interstellar gas is dense enough to form stars. This image shows the pervasive dust with waves and ripples, creating picturesque 'dust bunnies'. In the center, a light cloud, illuminated by neighboring stars, hosts a very young and massive star.
