Explanation:
Do you see the bubble in the center?
Seemingly adrift in a cosmic sea of
stars and glowing gas,
the delicate, floating apparition
in this widefield view is
cataloged as NGC 7635 - The Bubble Nebula.
A mere 10
light-years wide, the tiny
Bubble Nebula and
the larger complex of interstellar
gas and dust
clouds are found about 11,000
light-years
distant, straddling the boundary between the parental constellations
Cepheus and
Cassiopeia.
Also included in the
breathtaking vista is
open star
cluster M52 (upper left), some 5,000 light-years away.
The featured image spans about two
degrees on the sky corresponding to a width of about
375 light-years at the estimated distance of the
Bubble Nebula.
