Pelican Ionization Front

description Pelican Ionization Front Overview

Pelican Ionization Front is the bright ionized boundary of the Pelican Nebula, catalogued as IC 5070 in the constellation Cygnus. At the front, ultraviolet radiation from young, hot stars ionizes hydrogen in a surrounding cloud, while denser material forms pillars and dark structures that resist the radiation. The region is a site of ongoing star formation and shows how stellar radiation reshapes the gas from which stars develop.
