In the
constellation of Cepheus, we see a gigantic nebulosity. It is a star-formation
region that has run its course.
The stars
born from this region, in a small cluster, are already exposed out of their
natal shroud.
Already
dissipating, the nebula will eventually disappear into its galactic surroundings.
