Description

This is IC 1848 - The Soul Nebula. A very large emission nebula located in Cassiopeia. Home to numerous dark nebula, bok nodules, and star clusters this image spans an area equivalent to roughly 4 full moons in the sky. This companion to the Heart Nebula is often seen as a baby-hence it's name The Soul. I'm personally going with a bear cub on his back playing with a butterfly. I especially like the little Mario guy running up the mountain. I enjoy finding little things like that within images. Clear skies everyone.
