Description

(Revision- In this version I try to make better use of the extra data that was collected)

“Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven, blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie

This remarkable reflection nebula seems to be blooming in a garden of surrounding dust and hydrocarbons. It is located some 1300 light years from us in the constellation Cepheus.
