The Moonstalker Nebula is a star-forming region and emission nebula to the south of Divider Nebula in the Gamma Quadrant. The Ghost Head Nebula has a diameter of 50 light-years and is named for the two distinct white patches it possesses, called the "eyes of the stalker". The western patch, called Azordon, has a bubble in the center which was created by the young, massive star it contains. The eastern patch, called Vierg, has several young stars in a newly formed cluster. These stars together have begun to create a bubble in the nebula with their outpourings of material, called stellar wind.
