“Elephant, Bat, and Squid” is copyrighted by Patrick Hsieh. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThis 10-degree wide field of view in Cepheus the King shows the sprawling emission nebulae IC 1396 and Sh2-129. These nebulae are a mix of glowing interstellar gas and dark dust clouds. IC 1396 on the left is hundreds of light-years across and about 3,000 light-years distant, energized by its bluish central star. It contains intriguing dark shapes, like the Elephant's Trunk, which are tens of light-years long and hold raw material for new stars.
