This constellation includes part of the Taurus-Auriga complex, or Taurus dark clouds, a star-forming region containing sparse, filamentary clouds of gas and dust. This spans a diameter of 98 light-years (30 parsecs ) and contains 35,000 solar masses of material, which is both larger and less massive than the Orion Nebula . [ 34 ]
