Shown here is the extensive complex of blue reflection nebulosity surrounding the star cluster M45 in the constellation of Taurus. The nebulosity also encompasses the 5.2 magnitude star T1804 to the upper left, and in a blue arc down under near the bottom of the frame. The blue color is formed much the same way as particles in our atmosphere scatter blue light to make our sky blue, so its color should be - sky blue.
