Description

*HOVER ON THE IMAGE FOR THE STAR VERSION*

It is part of a much larger area of ionized gas called IC 1396, which contains an embedded star cluster
The bright rim of the dense cloud is illuminated and ionized by a very bright, massive star called HD 206267, located close to the east of IC 1396A
This star is responsible for the Ha emission source in the target, which is seen as the bright rim of the Elephant's Trunk Nebula
