Object data of CG1 |
||
| Object type: | Cometary globule | |
| Size: | 28' x 7' | |
| Magnitude: | - | |
| Constellation: | Pup | |
| Distance: | 1,300 Ly | |
| Notes: |
CG 1 is a cometary globule in constellation Puppis. Cometary globules are
typically characterized by dusty heads and elongated tails. These features
cause cometary globules to have visual similarities to comets, but in
reality they are very much different. Globules are frequently the
birthplaces of stars, and many show very young stars in their heads.
CG 1 is one of the largest of the Gum Nebula CGs. |
