NGC 1931 is a reflection and emission nebula and around a young star cluster in the constellation Auriga. The nebula shares similarities to the Orion Nebula as it is a mixed emission-reflection nebula that also contains a small Trapezium of hot young stars. [2]

NGC 1931 was discovered by William Herschel on 4 February 1793. It is a young star cluster, surrounded by a nebula of gas and dust and has partly amorphous, but partly also a filament-like structure. The dust nebula surrounds a small cluster of faint stars.

NGC 1931 is a Star Cluster + Nebula in the Auriga constellation. NGC 1931 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its visual magnitude of 10.1, NGC 1931 is visible with the help of a binocular with a 80mm aperture or a small telescope.
