Experience the majesty of the Elephant Trunk Nebula (IC 1396A) with this fine art astrophotography print. Located about 2,400 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus, this dark, sinuous pillar of gas and dust winds through the larger IC 1396 emission nebula.

The Elephant Trunk is a classic star-forming region, where powerful winds and radiation from massive young stars sculpt the dense cloud into a pillar-like shape. Hidden inside are newborn stars still forming within cocoons of gas and dust.

Rendered in the Hubble Palette (SHO), the nebula glows in surreal gold, teal, and blue tones that map ionized sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen gases. This color scheme highlights delicate structures and fine details invisible to the human eye.

Available on archival giclée paper, HD metal wall art, and canvas wraps, this print brings cosmic wonder and scientific beauty to your walls.
