CG4: A Ruptured Cometary Globule

NASA APOD · Josch Hambsch
COSMIC MESSAGE

The odd-looking 'creature' or 'hand' in this photo is CG4, a ruptured cometary globule. These globules, characterized by dusty heads and elongated tails, resemble comets but are vastly different. They are often stellar nurseries, where new stars are forming. This particular globule shows signs of rupture, adding to its unusual appearance.
