Summary
| Description |
English: Dusty proplyds in the star-forming region Westerhout 5, which appears as a star leaving a red tail behind. The external evaporation of dust from the disk of this object is caused by nearby OB-stars. The dust is then swept away by the nearby OB-star HD 17505, forming a tail in the wake of the young stars.
