Description: This large area of extended nebulosity consists of a large horizontal arc at the bottom known as NGC 7822 and the bright area at the top known as Cederblad 214. This whole area is very bright in the infrared because of massive, new stars heating the gas and dust clouds. Click here to see the cometary globules in CED 214.
