Description

This small nebula located in the constellation of Auriga, is formed by a bright core and connected with a less luminous region. The presence of high-velocity jets of gas escaping from the cloud suggest that the region is the site of star formation, these jets being pushed out by massive stars located in the deepest regions of the cloud.
