Stunning image of the Cocoon Nebula (IC 5146) in Cygnus, resembling a comet with its bright head and long dusty tail. This star-forming region, about 2,500 light-years away, features a young star illuminating the nebula's central region, while darker filaments in the tail hide forming stars visible only in infrared. The nebula's head spans 10 light-years, while the tail extends nearly 100 light-years. Credit: Andy Ermoli.
