Description

Ghostly goings on in Cassiopeia.This is an image of IC63, also known as The Ghost of Cassiopeia. It is being shaped by the nearby star gamma Cassiopeia (this is the star in the middle of the ‘W’) we see in the sky, and in the image is the bright round object above the ‘ghost’.Cassiopeia is an Autumn constellation so it seems appropriate that this ghostly apparition is looking down on us at Halloween.
