Description

1,300 light years away in the constellation Cepheus you can find this lovely reflection nebula, named after the purple/blue flower. The nebula is colored this way due to reflected starlight on the surrounding dust clouds from the young, bright blue star SAO 19158, which is 10 times the mass of our Sun. The reflection nebula spans about six light years in diameter.
