Description

IC1848 Soul Nebula

The IC1848 Soul Nebula is named such simply because it is located right next to the IC1805 Heart Nebula. Both are about 7500 light-years from Earth and each covers a span of about 250 light-years. Like the Heart Nebula, the Soul Nebula is made of ionized hydrogen gas excited by the stars of open clusters within the nebula. The field of view of the Soul Nebula is about 2 degrees, or 4 times wider than the moon. The Heart Nebula is about 2 degree off the top-right corner. North is at the top.
