      Explanation: What dark structures arise within the Pelican Nebula? On   
      the whole, the nebula appears like a bird (a pelican) and is seen   
      toward the constellation of a different bird: Cygnus, a Swan. But   
      inside, the Pelican Nebula is a place lit up by new stars and befouled   
      by dark dust. Smoke-sized dust grains start as simple carbon compounds   
      formed in the cool atmospheres of young stars but are dispersed by   
      stellar winds and explosions. Two impressive Herbig-Haro jets are seen   
      emitted by the star HH 555 on the right, and these jets are helping to   
      destroy the light year-long dust pillar that contains it. Other pillars   
      and jets are also visible. The featured image was   
      scientifically-colored to emphasize light emitted by small amounts of   
      heavy elements in a nebula made predominantly of the light elements   
      hydrogen and helium. The Pelican Nebula (IC 5067 and IC 5070) is about   
      2,000 light-years away and can be found with a small telescope to the   
      northeast of the bright star Deneb.
