Description

Flaming Tower (Cometary Globule)

It is interesting to know that the abundant red emission in this region is due to the immense ultra violet radiation from a nearby star cluster NGC6231 hosting O,B stars, the star cluster is beyond the view, more to the top left direction.

I decided to name this object Flaming tower (officially named Dark Tower), pardon everyone, I also really like the jet looking emission emanating from the tip of the tower which on APOD is named 'The bridge to nowhere'
