IC 1396 is an extensive emission nebula located in the constellation Cepheus, approximately 2,300 light-years from Earth. It is part of a larger star-forming region and is known for its rich array of gas and dust. One of its most famous features is the "Elephant Trunk," a large dark column of gas that is being eroded by the intense radiation and stellar winds from nearby young stars. The nebula is illuminated by these hot stars, creating bright areas of ionized hydrogen.
