IC 5070, also known as the "Pelican Nebula," is a bright emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is part of a larger region of star formation and is approximately 1,800 light-years away from Earth. The nebula gets its name from its shape, which resembles a pelican in flight. The Pelican Nebula is rich in hydrogen gas and dust, which are essential for the birth of new stars. It is often studied by astronomers using various wavelengths of light, including infrared and visible light, to understand the processes of star formation and the dynamics of interstellar matter.
