CG4: A Ruptured Cometary Globule

NASA APOD · David Malin (AAO), AATB
COSMIC MESSAGE

This unusual gas cloud is a ruptured cometary globule, characterized by a dusty head and an elongated tail. Cometary globules are often sites of star formation, with many containing very young stars in their heads. The rupture in this globule's head suggests it has been affected by strong stellar winds or radiation.
