IC 5070 - Pelican Nebula



IC 5070 - Pelican Nebula

The Pelican Nebula is an emission nebula located near the bright star Deneb in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. Named for its resemblance to a pelican, the nebula is associated with the neighbouring North America Nebula (NGC 7000). It is a mix of star formation and evolving gas clouds. The Pelican Nebula spans 30 light years and lies at about 1800 light years distant.
