2022 October 11 - Stars, Dust, Pillars, and Jets in the Pelican Nebula

In today's image, we see the Pelican Nebula which is a star forming region. In it, we see the dust and gas from which new stars are being formed. At the tip of one pillar, we see a Herbig-Haro object, also associated with newly formed stars.
