Cederblad 214 is a large region of star formation, with dark obscuring dust in the foreground, and is part of one of the largest molecular complexes in our Galaxy. The constellation Cepheus contains an energetic and young star cluster, Cepheus OB4, which generates powerful stellar winds and causes the expansion of molecular gas within the complex. Where the expanding front meets the colder gas, an ionisation front is formed, of which Cederblad is a visible part.
