What is this? It appears to look like a nebula however it has a long tail like a comet.

OG name lol . Looks like a silhouette
Yeah it does look really wierd. But if it is a silhouette ,what is it a silhouette of?
Looks like leftover material of star formation or bok globule - there are some more of these around
Maybe itβs a Pillars of Creation type dust cloud?
By the way - the funny colors here are because we donβt have full coverage in the four bands used for the βDR10β color map β but if you switch to the βDR10 Images (grz)β layer, it looks right! β

It appears you are correct. It said that in Simbad these clouds are a cometary globule or a pillar. I wonder which star created them?
