Der Elefantenrüsselnebel ist eine hell berandete Globule, also eine Ansammlung von interstellarem Gas und Staub, im Sternbild Kepheus. Die Globule gehört zu IC 1396, einem H-II-Gebiet mit eingebettetem Sternhaufen, und ist etwa 2400 Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt. Der Nebel ist ein aktives Sternentstehungsgebiet und enthält eine Reihe junger Sterne und Protosterne, die erst zwischen 100.000 und einer Million Jahre alt sind.
