Its appearance is produced by glowing ionized gas associated with dark dust structures, which create bright edges and obscured interior features in astronomical images. The object is therefore of interest to observers and astrophotographers studying H II regions and the structure of the Soul Nebula. [Astronomy reference](https://www.hansonastronomy.com/ic-1871)
