Finger of God Globule 3D model

DescriptionDescription

Finger of God Globule. The Finger of God Globule is like a hand that is pointing. The Finger of God globule is a Bok globule and dark nebula located around 7,300 light-years away from Earth, within the Carina Nebula. It is ~2 light years across, and got its name due to the finger-like shape located directly on top of the main nebula. The name Finger of God came from the structure located on the northern tip of the globule. It is also informally called God's Birdie or the Defiant Finger, named for its resemblance to a hand with its middle finger raised, which is sometimes referred to as flipping the bird. The globule is located near the Keyhole Nebula, which itself is located within the Carina Nebula. It is positioned near many other small Bok globules, and is one of the larger objects in its area.
