“CG4: A Ruptured Cometary Globule” is copyrighted by Jason Jennings (cosmicphotos). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis image shows a gas cloud known as a cometary globule, which has ruptured. Cometary globules are characterized by dusty heads and elongated tails, giving them a visual similarity to comets. However, they are vastly different, often serving as birthplaces for stars. Many young stars can be found forming within their heads.
