Object Data |
|||
| Object type: | Emission Nebula | ||
| Size: | |||
| Magnitude: | 8 | ||
| Constellation: | Cygnus | ||
| Distance: | 1800 ly | ||
| Notes: |
IC5070 is the famous Pelican Nebula.
Closer views such as this reveal several Herbig-Haro objects.
HH objects are bright patches of nebulosity associated with newborn stars
formed when narrow jets of partially ionized gas collide with interstellar
medium. This creates a glowing bow shock. The most dominant is HH-555, the narrow jet of gas ejected
from the ltip of the large pillar left of center. For a labelled image click here. |
