IRAS 23077+6707
IRAS 23077+6707 is a large protoplanetary disk in the constellation Cepheus. / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
IRAS 23077+6707 (Dracula's Chivito) is a protoplanetary disk seen edge-on. The disk blocks the light of the young star, causing the dark band in the middle. Dust particles scatter the light from the star, causing the bright nebula above and below the disk. The disk is 11 arcseconds in diameter and its distance is poorly constrained.[1][4]
