IC 5146: The Cocoon Nebula

NASA APOD · Luis Romero Ventura
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Cocoon Nebula, or IC 5146, is a star-forming region nearly 15 light-years wide. It is located about 4,000 light-years away in Cygnus the Swan. Like other star nurseries, it glows red from hydrogen gas excited by young, hot stars. Dust also reflects starlight at the edge of an otherwise invisible molecular cloud.
