L1551 IRS 5 is a protostellar envelope surrounding a binary protostar system in the constellation of Taurus 450 light-years from Earth. The binary system itself is known as L1551 NE,[4] and each star is surrounded by protoplanetary disk.[5] The system is one of Jim Kaler's The 100 greatest stars.[6]
The binary is surrounded by a complex, gas-rich protoplanetary disk system.[5]
