IC1396 - Elephant Trunk Nebula
Captured over 16.1 hours, revealing detailed internal structure, specifically around the elephant trunk.
Distance From Earch 2,400 Light Years
Diameter - 20 Light Years (Elephant Trunk structure itself)
Total Integration Time: 16.1 Hours
The Elephant Trunk Nebula is a dense, dark pillar of gas and dust located about 2,400 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cepheus. Stretching several light-years long, it is part of a much larger star-forming region where intense ultraviolet radiation from nearby young stars erodes the cloud, sculpting it into its trunk-like shape. Inside this cold, opaque material, gravity is actively collapsing pockets of gas, giving birth to new stars
Printed to order and shipped directly to you. Typical delivery is 7–14 days.
