Description

Found close to 1500 light years away in the constellation of Auriga, is the beautiful "Flaming Star Nebula." Named for the waves or nebulous ripples that appear as flames in a fire, this majestic cloud of dusty gas exhibits both reddish emission and bluish reflection nebulas. Glowing red clouds of hydrogen gas intermingle with pale blue swaths of dust illuminated by brilliant young stars.
