Description

This is IC 5067, a prominent ridge of emission located within IC 5070, an emission nebula soaring 2,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan.

Spanning 10 light-years across (approx 51 trillion miles), the dark spaces are clouds of cold gas and dust sculpted by the winds and radiation from hot, massive stars. Newly forming stars are emerging out of the sculpted clouds.
