The Pelican Nebula or IC 5067 is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, located near Deneb , and separated from the larger ngC 7000 nebula by a dark region. The dark area is called the Gulf of Mexico, because in some astronomical plates many years ago it resembled that region of the Earth. Both nebulae, IC 5070 and NGC 7000, are part of the same H II region. Inside the Pelican Nebula, clouds of dark dust also help define the eye and long beak, while a bright ionized gas front suggests the silhouette of the head and neck. The nebula in what would physically be the back of the neck is what was really called IC 5070 but is better known as "The Cogote".
This nebula has been highly studied because it mixes stellar formation and developing gas clouds. The light of young stars slowly heats the cold gas producing an ionization front that moves outwards. Particularly dense areas of cold gas are still visible with relatively modest telescopes and even binoculars but it takes a light-pollution-free sky to appreciate its extensive contours.

If this user has been harassing you, and you shadow-ban them, all their activities on your content will be invisible to everyone except themselves.
They will not know that they have been shadow-banned, and the goal is that eventually they will get bored while having caused no harm, since nobody saw what they posted.
You will remove your shadow-ban on this user, and their comments, messages, etc, will appear again on your content.
Please note: You are on a Free account, and when you delete an image, your upload counter does not decrease (unless the image is deleted within 24 hours of uploading it). The Free account is not a way to keep your most recent or best 10 images on AstroBin, but a trial period for you to decide whether or not a paid subscription is worth it.

The image will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. All its revisions will be deleted too. Are you sure?
You will delete all other revisions (if any), and the originally uploaded image, leaving the current revision as the final and only version of this image.
