“ Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,”

The "Cosmic Ballerina"...Dancing with the Stars
A lone ballerina dances in the dust of Taurus.
We are made of star dust...the carbon in our bodies, the iron in our blood, came from generations of stars that seeded the universe with the elements of life.
In the star dust of the constellation Taurus lies a dark nebula, clinically known as Barnard 22...but with modern digital cameras and advanced processing the dust comes alive and shows us a lone ballerina dancing amongst the stars. I think at this level of detail it should be known as the Cosmic Ballerina.
Reprocessed February 2022.
Barnard 22 a dark nebula with IC2087 reflecting in the center.
