🌌 The Pelican Nebula Is Slowly Transforming
NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day for September 7, 2026 shows the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070), captured with 25 hours of exposure.
Young stars are heating and reshaping its gas, while new stars continue to form. Millions of years from now, the nebula may look completely different.
