Description

M78, or more commonly known as Casper the Friendly Ghost Nebula, is a breathtaking reflection nebula in the constellation Orion. With its ethereal beauty and vibrant hues and unlike emission nebulae that generate their own light, M78 reflects the glow of nearby young stars, painting the dusty canvas with a mesmerizing spectacle.
