  We present an analysis of the diffuse ultraviolet (UV) emission near the
Taurus Molecular Cloud based on observations made by the Galaxy Evolution
Explorer (GALEX). We used a Monte Carlo dust scattering model to show that
about half of the scattered flux originates in the molecular cloud with 25%
arising in the foreground and 25% behind the cloud. The best-fit albedo of the
dust grains is 0.3 but the geometry is such that we could not constrain the
phase function asymmetry factor (g).
