Description

NGC-7380 is a young cluster of stars surrounded by nebulosity that reminds one of a wizard's hat. A binary system of stars at the center powers this massive cloud, which spans an impressive 20 light years. The lair of 'the wizard' lies some 8,500 light years away in the court of Cepheus the King.
