NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“An Unusual Globule in IC 1396” is copyrighted by Jean-Charles Cuillandre. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

See it on NASA's site
COSMIC MESSAGE

In the star-forming region IC 1396, also known as the Elephant's Trunk Nebula, a dark cometary globule is being eroded. A bright, young star, too distant to pose any threat, emits energetic light that eats away at the dust. Jets and winds of particles from this star also push away the surrounding gas and dust, shaping the nebula.
