Description

[From Wikipedia]
The NGC 7822 nebula is a young star forming complex.

It includes one of the hottest stars discovered within 1 kpc of the Sun, namely BD+66 1673, which has a surface temperature of nearly 45,000 K and a brightness about 100,000 times that of the Sun. The star is one of the main sources illuminating the nebula and shaping the complex's famed pillars of creation-type formations, the elephant trunks.

Can you spot the elephant trunks?
