Inside the Elephant's Trunk

COSMIC MESSAGE

This infrared view from the Spitzer Space Telescope pierces through the dense dust of the Elephant's Trunk Nebula, IC 1396. Within this dark cloud, previously hidden protostars are now visible, glowing as they gather material. This region, 2,450 light-years away in Cepheus, is a stellar nursery where new suns are just beginning to form.
