Description

CG-4 is a very strange nebula, in English it is often called "God´s Glowing Hand" whereas in German, its name is not very nice at all. It is a cometary globuli nebula, probably the remains of a supernova explosion long time ago. It can be found in the constellation Puppis and is an active Ha emission area.
