Description

I always thought that the so called "elephant trunk" looked more like a one-eyed person-like creature (fully realizing that "elephant trunk" is also part of the astronomical lingo, with a precise meaning)....Until I saw the elephant heard way below! An entire elephant herd in the confines of this dusty nebula.
