“Heart” Nebula,

Located in the constellation of Cassiopeia in the Perseus arm of the Milky Way galaxy and some 7,500 light-years from Earth is IC 1805. 

The reason for this name should be obvious: its two swooping wings resemble the shape of a heart, and it glows red from within -- classifying it as an emission nebula -- from hydrogen ionised into plasma by nearby stars. 

The cluster of very young, hot stars -- just 1.5 million years old -- in the centre of the nebula is known as Melotte 15. The nebula itself spans some 200 light-years across.

Happy St. Valentines Day with the Heart & Soul Nebula. This is a repost of 20 hours worth of data I took last year from Providence, RI, and is one of my favorite (and most ambitious) projects ever. To my wife @ruthanne_holloway (@solarroseimaging for her business), I love you!. Also, if you need photo editing done, especially large scale, she is one of the best I know! Regular photography 📸 of course :) .

Working on our website and decided to put a picture of the heart nebula under my .png Mobile website still needs work but desktop one is coming together well. More updates later this month. #1upoptics #invasion #has #begun #resistance #is #futile #resistanceisfutile #heartnebula #nebula #science #rules #turbonerd #turbonerdacademy #turbonerdclub #turbo #nerd #toggleswitch808 #toggleswitch (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnogK3EHqd0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t7a5jvyfvs8z

The Heart Nebula is about 7,500 light years (44,090,000,000,000,000,000 miles) from the Earth. This nebula gets its heart like shape and bright red color from intense radiation that is given off by a group of stars near the nebula’s center. The universe is nothing short of incredible!

The Heart Nebula or IC 1805, lies some 7500 light years away from Earth and is located in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. This is an emission nebula showing glowing ionized hydrogen gas and darker dust lanes.

IC-1805 has the colloquial name: The Heart Nebula. It is 7,500 light years distance. This is a rework of images from 2021 at Astrofarm France: new processes and new skills. #ic1805 #heartnebula #astrophotography #astrophotographie #astrophotographiefrance #poussieresdetoiles #poussièredétoiles (at Astrofarm) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChKuqunsIZF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
