Astronomy Science ~ Emission nebula IC 1396 which is an amazing mix of cosmic gas and dark dust clouds in the Cepheus Constellation. Powered by a bright bluish star, this star forming regions that lie around hundreds of light-years - spanning over three degrees on the sky while a nearly 3,000 light-years from planet Earth.
Among the dark shapes pulling in IC 1396, Elephant's Trunk nebula lies just below center. This beautiful scenery is color composition digital plate of black and white photography, recorded through red and blue astronomical filters.
