Pelican Nebula (IC5070) taken from Leeds UK by amateur astro-photographer urmymuse. The Pelican Nebula (also known as IC 5070 [1]) is an H II region associated with the North America Nebula in the constellation Cygnus. The gaseous contortions of this emission nebula bear a resemblance to a pelican, giving rise to its name. [1]
The portion of the nebula resembling Mexico and Central America is known as the Cygnus Wall. This region exhibits the most concentrated star formation. [9] At optical wavelengths, the North America Nebula and the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) appear distinct as they are separated by the silhouette of the dark band of interstellar dust L935. The dark ...
This is a partial list of IC objects, which are astronomical objects included in the Index Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars.This two volume catalog was published in 1895 and 1908 by J. E. L. Dreyer.

Rogelio Bernal Andreo (born 9 January 1969) is a Spanish-American astrophotographer.He is known for his photographs of deep sky objects.His work has been recognized by NASA as a regular contributor to their Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) [1] 80 times.
A massive cloud of dust and glowing gases speckled with newborn stars in the shape of a seagull shines in a stunning image captured by a telescope in Chile.
The remnant of the explosion is called Kleinmann-Low nebula. [11] Multi-wavelength observations and carbon monoxide (CO) observations with ALMA reveal the mostly spherical remnant of an explosion at the intersection point of the BN object and Source I. The ALMA observations revealed hundreds of CO streamers moving with up to 100 km/s.
NGC 6357 is a diffuse nebula near NGC 6334 in the constellation Scorpius.The nebula contains many proto-stars shielded by dark discs of gas, and young stars wrapped in expanding "cocoons" or expanding gases surrounding these small stars.
