Description

Alongside the well-known Heart Nebula, there can only be… the Soul Nebula.

It is a vast HII (ionized hydrogen) region about 7600 light-years away from us where there is a strong star formation. That framed is only the eastern section of the nebula, too large to fit completely within the field of view of the telescope in use.

Picture taken from heavy light polluted, SQM 18 / bortle 7 sky.
