The following images were taken by NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope's
Near-Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS). All of the
objects are extremely young stars, 450 light-years away in the
constellation Taurus. Most of the nebulae represent small dust particles
around the stars, which are seen because they are reflecting starlight.
In the color-coding, regions of greatest dust concentration appear
red.
