This image is a panorama of the Vulture Head nebula (LBN777) and its surroundings, which are part of the Taurus Molecular Cloud, one of the nearest molecular clouds, located at about 400 light years from the earth. The external part of LBN777 is illuminated by the surrounding stars and can be seen as a very faint reflection nebula. Its dense inner part is catalogued as the dark nebula B207.
