Description

🌟Pelican Nebula (IC 5070 and IC 5067)🌟
The pelican nebula is an HII region associated with the North American nebula in the constellation Cygnus. The gaseous contortions of this emission nebula bear a resemblance to a pelican, giving rise to its name. The pelican nebula is located nearby first magnitude star Deneb, and is divided from its more prominent neighbour, the North American nebula, by a foreground molecular cloud filled with dark dust.
