COSMIC MESSAGE

The Elephant's Trunk Nebula is a cosmic dust cloud over 20 light-years long. It winds through the star-forming region IC 1396 in the constellation Cepheus. This detailed view shows bright, swept-back ridges of cool interstellar gas. The dark, tendril-shaped clouds contain the raw material for new stars.
