APOD 3.7

      This is a picture of the pelican Nebula which is located in the constellation Cygnus. Stars are newly formed in this nebula but hard to see because of all the interstellar dust. Instellar dust floats around everywhere and are scattered by stellar winds and explosions. On the star on the right is a Herbig-Haro Jet which is helping to destroy a dust pillar. Small amounts of ionizednitrogen, oxygen , and sulfur can be found in the light from the nebula. This nebula is about 2000 light years away and is northeast of the star Deneb.
