恒星正在林兹暗星云（LDN） 1251中形成。这片尘埃分子云距离我们大约1000光年远，漂浮在我们银河系的平面上方，是指向仙王座耀斑区域的暗星云复合体的一部分。在整个光谱中，对模糊的星际云的天文探索揭示了与新生恒星有关的能量冲击和流出，包括隐藏在图像中分散的赫比格-哈罗天体发出的红色光芒。遥远的背景星系也潜伏在这个场景中，几乎被埋在尘埃的背后。这幅诱人的景象横跨了天空中的两个满月，或者以LDN 1251的估计距离计算为17光年。

Stars are forming in Lynds Dark Nebula (LDN) 1251. About 1,000 light-years away and drifting above the plane of our Milky Way galaxy, the dusty molecular cloud is part of a complex of dark nebulae mapped toward the Cepheus flare region. Across the spectrum, astronomical explorations of the obscuring interstellar clouds reveal energetic shocks and outflows associated with newborn stars, including the telltale reddish glow from scattered Herbig-Haro objects hiding in the image. Distant background galaxies also lurk on the scene, almost buried behind the dusty expanse. This alluring view spans over two full moons on the sky, or 17 light-years at the estimated distance of LDN 1251.
