Description

About 550 light-years away in the Cassiopeia constellation is IC 63, an astonishing and slightly disturbing nebula. Also known as Cassiopeia's ghost, IC 63 is shaped by radiation from a nearby star, Gamma Cassiopeia, which is slowly eroding the ghostly cloud of dust and gas. This celestial ghost makes the perfect backdrop for the next Halloween party.
