Description

Formed about 1 million years ago and at 150 light-years across, the Soul Nebula is a vast cloud of dust and gas that surrounds a cluster of stars about 6,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia. Like other massive star-forming regions, such as Orion and Carina, Soul Nebula contains large cavities that were carved out by radiation and winds from the region's most massive stars.

This is a Hubble Palette (SHO) narrowband image that NASA tends to use RGB mapping with Sulphur II, Ha, OIII filter data.

SHO - SII: 81x5minutes, Ha 106x5minutes, OIII 112x5minutes
