In the explanation it states "Which bright young stars light up the blue reflection nebula is still being investigated". The link in that brings up an abstract of a paper that was published in November 1986. Wow, that is keeping somebody in employment!
The credit has a link that would presumably bring up information on Ryan Hannahoe, but it requires a username and password to access it which makes having the link seem pointless. Fortunately the information that was brought up through the "this photogenic nebula" link had a link to information on Ryan.
I've noticed that the link no longer needs a password and username to access information on Ryan Hannahoe.
