Fountain of Mysterious Space Dust Found

There is an interesting article at Space.com about a star surrounded by a red rectangle of dust.

This is interesting because my Star Finder program using Google Sky API shows the star quite nicely framed with the dust cloud. People have been using my site to see the star.

It is numbered HD 44179 or SAO 151362.

According to the database that I glommed, the Visual Magnitude is 8.8 and it is a type B8 star.

I am thinking of making a Stars in the News Blog.
