CG4: A Ruptured Cometary Globule

NASA APOD · T. A. Rector

COSMIC MESSAGE

This image shows CG4, a ruptured cometary globule, a gas cloud with a dusty head and an elongated tail. Unlike comets, these globules are often star-forming regions. The rupture in CG4 suggests powerful forces at play, possibly from nearby stellar radiation, shaping this cosmic nursery.
