Just a few degrees north
of the large naked eye star cluster the Hyades, we find this
rich assemblage of dust from the Taurus Molecular Cloud swirling
all over this 2x3 degree field. In the center, NGC1555 is at
the very center of one such swirl, surrounded by dark lanes and
cometary shaped dark knots of star illuminated dust. The dark
cometary dark nebula near top center is called PLCKECC G175.31-20.50,
classified as a "Dark Core". A hint of red on the lower
right along the edge of the frame marks the only visible hydrogen
here.
