  • L-RGB composition of VdB 142 "The Eelephant Trunk Nebula", a part of the bigger complex IC 1396 in Cepheus.

    Some interesting facts:
    - The Elephant Trunk Nebula is a mix of gas and dust nebulae belonging to wide gas and dust region - IC 1396 - in Cepheo
    - Distance from the Hearth 2400 Light-Years
    - The Elephant Head and its Trunk are probably a star-forming area because several young stars have been found in this nebula, two of them lying in the eye's cavity which has been probably emptied by their stellar winds.
