Cometary Globules

Cometary globules (CGs), first observed in 1976, are interstellar clouds with comet-like morphology, consisting of compact, dusty, and opaque heads and long, faintly luminous tails. Unlike most dark clouds, CGs are isolated neutral globules surrounded by a hot ionized medium.
Most CGs are located in the Gum nebula, a large region of ionized gas with approximate distance and size of 450 and 300 pc, respectively.
