Also known by the less interesting names Van den Bergh 141 and
Sharpless 2-136, this reflection nebula is located in the constellation Cepheus.
The cloud is lit by newly-formed stars embedded within it, and the densest
part of the cloud, at the upper right, still has stars forming inside.
Vdb 141 is 2 light years across, and 1470 light years from earth.
