Space Time
Also known as IC 5070, IC 5067.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.
Pelican Nebula image-field center is placed at J2000 RA 20.9 h, Dec 44.3° in Cygnus, at an adopted distance of 1,800 light-years.
Pelican Nebula (star-forming emission nebula; central source Pelican Nebula, embedded stellar population): projected footprint at the adopted distance 16.8 × 26 light-years; outer radius used for arrival 13 light-years.
This narrowband field shows the Pelican’s structured cloud front, not its entire wide silhouette. The shared complex distance is approximate; colors distinguish emission filters. Projected structure follows the credited observation at its published angular scale and an approximate adopted distance. Shallow depth is illustrative, not measured tomography. The source palette is preserved; brightness is adjusted for the navigable view.
