Dust clouds and dark nebulae near M45, the Pleiades nebula and cluster, are seen in the constellation of Taurus. M45, at lower right, is a young open cluster embedded in blue reflection nebulae that reflect the light of the hot young stars in the cluster. It is located about 444 light years distant from our solar system. Numerous Barnard dark nebulae are located in the field, the most prominent of which is Barnard 7 at top left center. Reflection nebula Cederblad 30 is the small blue nebula inside of B7. B18 is the large dark nebula on the far left side of the frame below center. | |
