Description

This is a really cool region and I really enjoyed processed it!
CG 30 and 31 are a cometary globule grouping located in Vela/Puppies within the Gum Nebula, this is a complex of several globlues (CG30, CG31, CG38) and dark clouds. The area contains the Herbig Haro object HH 120.The Globules are estimated to be 1000 light years from here.

A cometary globule is an interstellar cloud with comet-like morphology, consisting of compact, dusty opaque heads with long faintly luminous tails. Unlike dark nebulae or dark dust clouds, CG’s are isolated neutral globules surrounded by a hot ionized medium.

Cometary Globules were only recently identified in 1976.
