Description

The Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) is a stunning cloud of gas and dust located about 7,100 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia. Its name comes from its distinctive spherical shape, caused by powerful stellar winds generated by a massive star at its center. This star, about 45 times larger than the Sun, expels material that sculpts the surrounding gas, creating the appearance of a bubble. The interaction between stellar radiation and the surrounding gas creates a fascinating blend of colors and textures, making it an impressive target for astrophotography.

This astrophotography project was captured by Carlos Espada (@carlosespadaapo) from his observatory. Despite living with ALS and only being able to move his eyes, Carlos has adapted his capturing techniques and equipment to continue pursuing astrophotography. I have taken care of the image processing, a task that presents challenges for him given his condition.
