Description

NGC281, The Pacman Nebula, lies in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is a bright emission nebula and star forming region. Several Bok globules (isolated and relatively small dark nebulae, containing dense cosmic dust and gas from which star formation may take place) exist around much of the periphery. Processed here using narrowband assigned to a natural color palette.
