The Leviathan Nebula is a distorted emission nebula some 100x100x200ly in size. Its belly holds a massive population of T Tauri protostars with quite a few Herbig-Haro's among them. Its distorted shape is the result of the many massive young stars that formed out of its dust and gas some few million years ago. There are also many stellar corpses that bear witness to some gigantic catastrophes in the distant past.
The nebula is part of a much greater complex, the Segnao Starburst. In fact, it is quite likely that the Leviathan is just the remnant of a much bigger molecular cloud complex which must have collapsed in a chain of some rather dramatic events, thus producing a rate of star birth far higher than in other parts.
