IC5070 | ESO
Red and blue data from the ESO Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2).
The Pelican Nebula is an H II region associated with the North America Nebula in the constellation Cygnus. The gaseous contortions of this emission nebula bear a resemblance to a pelican, giving rise to its name.
The Pelican is much studied because it has a particularly active mix of star formation and evolving gas clouds.
Based on observations collected at the European Southern Observatory under ESO programme(s).
