APOD 4.2

This picture shows the Elephants Trunk Nebula.  Some say that parts of the glowing gas and dust clouds appear as monsters.  The entire nebula can be seen as the face of a monster.  But the only thing actually in this nebula is a bright young star that lies almost 3000 light-years away from us.  This nebula appears in a region of the sky equivalent to the width of 10 full moons.  Recently however, over 100 young stars have been discovered in the process of formation.
