Description

There are many molecular clouds in this region of the Milky Way straddling Taurus, Ares, and Perseus.  Some conceal active star formation such as the area around the Phantom Tiara, others are seen by obscuring background stars, some by scattering light from nearby stars, and others by reflecting starlight from the galaxy.

This RGB image consists of 21 Red, 20 Green, and 11 Blue exposures each 5-minutes.
