Cometary globule CG4 is about 1300 light-years from Earth near the constellation Puppis. Its head is about 1.5 light-years in diameter and its tail is about 8 light-years long. The dusty cloud contains enough material to form several Sun-like stars. Its tail comes away from the Vela Supernova remnant near the center of the Gum Nebula.
