IC 2948 - The Heart of the Running Chicken Nebula
This image covers IC 2948 and part of IC 2944, it is located in the constellation Centauri, very close to the star λ Centauri.
IC 2948 is the brightest emission and reflection nebula, located within the nebula but to the southeast of the Running Chicken Nebula. IC 2948 harbors several Bok globules, although this time here called Thackeray globules in honor of their discoverer, these globules made of dust and gas are places where active star formation usually occurs.
It is separated from us by approximately 6,500 light years.
