The Cometary Globule CG4 | ESO

The Cometary Globule CG4 | ESO

Like the gaping mouth of a gigantic celestial creature, the cometary globule CG4 glows menacingly in this image from the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT). Although it looks huge and bright in this image, it is actually a faint nebula and not easy to observe. The exact nature of CG4 remains a mystery.
