Description

This is a group of molecular cloud in the constellation of Taurus, including LDN 1551, SH2-239 and LBN 821, looks like a crying face.
Sh2-239 is a distinct nebula in which stars have been forming for quite some time. It contains two clusters of highly embedded very young stars as well as many stars that are more evolved. The many outflows are visible as bright red knots and jets.
