Tall, dark, and handsome 🌟
The nebula IRAS 05437+2502 billows out among the bright stars and dark dust clouds that surround it in this #hubbleclassic image.
It's located in the constellation of Taurus, close to the central plane of our Milky Way Galaxy.
The image of this nebula actually came about as part of a “snapshot” survey. These are observations that are fitted into Hubble’s busy schedule if and when possible. Because of this, the nebula hasn't been studied in great detail and its exact nature remains unclear.
