Description

IC 63 is a faint reflection and emission nebula located in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia. Also known as the ghost of Cassiopeia, IC 63 is being shaped by radiation from a nearby unpredictably variable star, Gamma Cassiopeiae, which is slowly eroding away the ghostly cloud of dust and gas.
