Description

This is the Bubble Nebula located a half of a degree from M52! We often find star clusters and nebula together ,because its when a large cloud of cool gas collapses that we form star clusters.

The Bubble Nebula is 11,000 light years away, but its a coincidence that these two objects are aligned in the sky.

It's possible that about 33 million years ago the bubble burned out and went supernova in M52.

The bright blue star that caused the bubble is a brilliant O-type star.

These 2 objects are found in Cassiopea Constellation.
