“An Unusual Globule in IC 1396” is copyrighted by T. Rector. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteIn IC 1396, also known as the Elephant's Trunk Nebula, parts of gas and dust clouds take on foreboding forms. The only real 'monster' here is a bright young star, too far from Earth to harm us. Energetic light from this star is eroding the dust of the dark cometary globule near the top of the image. Jets and particle winds from this star also push away ambient gas and dust.
