Description

IC1805. The Heart Nebula. Located in the Perseus arm of the Milky Way, it is composed of ionized dust and hydrogen gas. It is known by several names to include the 'Running Dog' nebula based on how it looks visually through a telescope. The hydrogen gas is ionized by the open cluster near the bottom of the image known as Merlotte 15. It is roughly 7,500-ly from Earth. I should finish up its 'sister' nebula, the Soul Nebula, tonight with any luck.
