Description

Heart Nebula in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It's an emission nebula, where the hydrogen atoms glow in due to the radiation coming from the group of stars close to the nebula center.
This nebula is part of a wider region also glowing in red, extending well beyond the top of the image, although less luminous
