I wonder what the « running chick » lost in space
Of course, by this name we do not mean a real chick, but a huge nebula
We are talking about IC 2944 at a distance of about 6,500 light-years from Earth, which also received the name « running chick » because of its unusual appearance
This nebula in the constellation Centauri is known for its so-called globules, which are relatively dense clouds of pollen with a great potential for star formation.
The dark « clouds » at the bottom of this impressive photo showing part of the cosmic « Running Chicken » are exactly those globules))
