Description

vdB31 is a reflection in the constellation of Auriga seen here as the brighter blue area and is located about 470 light years away. Reflection nebula are clouds of dust that reflect the light of nearby stars. Accompanying vdB31 are dark nebulae B26, B27 and B28. These are dense clouds of dust seen here obscuring the starlight behind them and somewhat resemble the silhouette of a llama.
