Description

The Lobster Claw Nebula (shot here in SHO Hubble colors), is an emission nebula located about 11,000 light-years away in the constellation of Cassiopeia. The red/orange portions of the nebula are made up of strong HII regions. The predominantly yellow part of the nebula is a vast H II region. The blue-colored regions are from the emission of light from molecular oxygen.
