Aluminum - Elephant Trunk Nebula

Discover the Elephant Trunk Nebula 🐘✨

Hidden within the constellation Cepheus, the SH 2-131 Elephant Trunk Nebula stretches across the sky like a colossal cosmic sculpture. This formation of interstellar gas and dust resembles the trunk of an elephant reaching through space, a birthplace of massive new stars. Astronomers call it a "stellar nursery," where the forces of gravity and radiation shape dazzling pillars and glowing clouds. Its size is staggering—spanning nearly 20 light-years across—yet here it’s captured in intimate, breathtaking detail. 

The Elephant Trunk Nebula is best visible during September & October.

Astrophotographer Astrocat's image brings out the rich colors and intricate textures of this nebula, printed on sleek aluminum to deliver striking vibrancy and a modern floating effect that turns any wall into a cosmic gallery.
