Description

Heres the Cocoon nebula, you decide if the name is worthy of this fantastic deep sky Object. This object also seems to have a halo of Dark Matter obscuring the stars encircling it. In fact extreme widefield images appear to make the Cocoon look like its left a trail of dark matter obsuring the stars beyond as its meandered through space. Whether real or not i like the idea its is on its own course.
