Monkey Head nebula - a photo on Flickriver

Monkey Head nebula

            Located about 6,400 light-years away, glowing gas and dark dust do not survive well in the Monkey Head Nebula. It consists of ionized gas and emitting light in different colors. The source of this light is photon radiation of one or more nearby young stars near the center of the nebula generate stellar winds and high energy radiation. This causes the nebula's material to shift into complex shapes.
