“An Unusual Globule in IC 1396” is copyrighted by Joachim Korb. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteWithin the expansive IC 1396, a dark cometary globule, sometimes called the Elephant's Trunk Nebula, reveals an active stellar nursery. A bright, young star, too distant to be a threat, is the true engine here. Its energetic light and stellar winds are actively eroding the dust of the globule, sculpting its intricate shapes. This interaction highlights the powerful forces at play in star formation.
