Scientific paper

It is suggested that the filamentary structure in the Pleiades reflection nebula is caused by shearing of dust clumps in an interstellar cloud moving through the star cluster. Radiation pressure flattens a dust clump and causes it to flow around a star, forming a shell. The anisotropy of the radiation field shears clumps into long streamers.
