IC 63, also known as the "Ghost of Cassiopeia," is a fascinating reflection nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It gets its nickname due to its ghostly appearance, which is created by starlight from the nearby variable star Gamma Cassiopeiae being reflected off surrounding interstellar dust.
