Description

Part of the same molecular cloud in Camelopardalis about 2,600 light years away, the blue reflection nebulas van den Bergh (vdB) 15 (left) and 14 (right) are lit up by two variable blue supergiant stars CE Camelopardalis and CS Camelopardalis, respectively. The emission nebula Sh2-202 encroaches from below, adding its distinct red flavor to the image.
