This is a wide-field view of the star-forming region in the constellation of Cepheus. The Elephant Trunk Nebula appears here near the center as a small dark circular cloud-outline surrounding a bright star. It is close by at 2,400 light years distance. This is a rework of 40 x 5 minute images that I captured at Astrofarm in 2021. #elephanttrunknebula #ic1396 #ic1396nebula #cepheusconstellation #starformingregion #interstellargasclouds #interstellargascloud #interstellarspace #interstellargas #interstellargasanddust #astrophotography #astrophotographiefrance #poussieredetoile #poussierdetoiles #deepspacephotography #deepspace #astronomy #astronomie #astronomiefrance (at Astrofarm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNVT_OMfBA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Orion Nebula: A rich cluster of young stars about 1,500 light years from Earth. The Orion Nebula is one of the closest star formation regions from Earth at a distance of 1,500 light years. A favorite for amateur astronomers and casual sky watchers, Orion is seen as never before in this composite image created from Chandra and Hubble data. The wispy filaments seen by Hubble (pink and purple) are clouds of gas and dust that provide the material used as fuel by young stars. The bright point-like sources (blue and orange) are newly formed stars captured in X-ray light by Chandra. These fledgling stars are seen to flare in their X-ray intensity, which suggests that our Sun had many violent and energetic outbursts when it was much younger.
