Need
• Help increase knowledge of star formation
• View parts of the universe previously obscured by dark nebulae

Introduction
• Nebula are clouds of ionized hydrogen gas
• Large regions of star formation

Introduction
• Dark nebula are similar to reflection nebula
• Can only be seen due to the fact that they block out light

Taurus-Auriga Dark Cloudhttp://www.usm.uni-muenchen.de/ys/iras_images.html
Literature Review
• Red and Nebulous Objects in Dark Clouds
• Search for protostars and T Tauri stars previously missed by Herbig and Rao

Literature Review
• An optical survey to look for star formation in Lynds Dark Clouds
• Ratio of Class 0 to Class I protostars was found to be about 1:1, very different from previous 1:10 ratio
