The Taurus molecular cloud 1 in the constellation of Taurus is notable for containing many complex molecules, including cyanopolyynes HCnN for n=3,5,7,9.

It was extremely difficult to image this object in such a way that the typical blue-ish glow in the background came out enough to make the dark clouds "float".
