As reported by the site “Science Alert”, the giant nebula looks like a giant lighthouse that observes the black and cold vacuum from space, or like a giant in search of planets to devour.
The site indicated that “the new image was taken by the European Observatory’s Large Telescope to celebrate the 60th anniversary of its founding, and the strange subject of the image is the conical nebula, which is part of a larger nebula at 2,500 light-years from Earth called “NGC 2264” in the constellation of the Unicorn.
This indicates that not all nebulae are created equal, as some reflect light from nearby stars, while others produce their own light.
Some, like the Cone Nebula, are dark and thick with dust that absorbs visible light, because light of wavelengths invisible to the human eye, such as infrared and radio, can pass through. (Arabic)
