Astrophotography by Richard Harris
The Heart Nebula, also known as IC 1805, is an emission nebula located about 7,500 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia. It makes up part of the Perseus spiral arm of our Milky Way galaxy so it's local to us!
Like other emission nebulae, the Heart Nebula is made up of a mix of ionized gases, dust, and stellar material.
In essence, the Heart Nebula is a vast, complex cloud of gas and dust illuminated and sculpted by the young stars within it. Its dynamic and vibrant appearance is a result of the interplay between these components and the energetic processes taking place within.
