Description

An early sun-like star in formative stage, T Tauri lights up a surrounding cloud of material.   The star and the nebula are both variable, but not necessarily at the same time.   The cloud of material is on the order of 650 light-years distant.    T Tauri is likely a multiple system, and the nearby material likely also hosts one or more stellar objects.
