Taurus molecular cloud

Interstellar molecular cloud in the constellations Taurus and Auriga

The Taurus molecular cloud (TMC-1) is an interstellar molecular cloud in the constellations Taurus and Auriga. This cloud hosts a stellar nursery containing hundreds of newly formed stars. The Taurus molecular cloud is only 140 pc away from Earth, making it possibly the nearest large star formation region. It has been important in star formation studies at all wavelengths.
