APOD 3.7

Cometary Globule CG4

See Explanation.  Clicking on the picture will download
 the highest resolution version available.


Floating at around 1300 light years from Earth, near the constellation Puppis, cometary globule CG4 is estimated to be much larger than our solar system,  This area in space is capable of forming multiple stars like our sun.  The dusty cloud formation, CG4, is typically described as "unusually menacing" but still appealing in my opinion. 

Godspeed,
Melanie
