Description

The Heart Nebula (IC 1805) is an emission nebula located at an approximate distance of 7,500 light years from Earth, in the constellation Cassiopeia. At the core of the Heart Nebula is a bright  open cluster known as Melotte 15. This emission nebula shares a resemblance to a human heart via its glowing ionized hydrogen gas and dark dust lanes. IC 1795, often called the Fish Head Nebula, is found just off the tip of the Heart Nebula.
