Image of Elephant trunk nebula from the constellation of Cepheus. This star forming region is about 3000 light years away from us. The elephant trunk contains several “young” stars that are less than 100,000 years old. This is a composite of about 2 hour long exposure taken with 5 minute sub-exposures.
