Elephants Trunk Nebula

Image Description and Details : The Elephant's Trunk nebula is a concentration of interstellar gas and dust located in the constellation Cepheus about 2,400 light years away from Earth. The Elephant's Trunk is composed of cool interstellar dust and gas, which blocks out light on its way to Earth and leaves behind a long, thin silhouette that gives the nebula its name, and makes it one of many nebulae that look like animals. Imaged here in what is known as the Hubble palette of colours on can clear make out the many gases which form this very interesting deep sky object….
