$The Cocoon nebula is a pink circular cloud about 1/6 the width of the image located in the bottom-left lower third of the image. A large cloud of interstellar dust surrounds the nebula and extends all the way to the right edge of the image. The background is a dense star field. The bright stars have four distinct diffraction spikes.$
