Lynds Bright Nebula 468 in Cepheus

Description

This faint nebula lies in both constellations Cepheus and Draco. This field contains Young Stellar Object Bernes 38 and a variable reflection nebula HH 215 similar to Hubble's Variable Nebula NGC 2261. Young stellar objects (YSOs) are stars in the earliest stages of development. Most of the material that goes into forming a star is accreted through a circumstellar disk and in this process the protostellar system drives an energetic bipolar jet and outflow into its surroundings.
