Description

The Soul Nebula (Westerhout 5) is an emission nebula located in Cassiopeia.  The overall nebula complex is beautifully carved out by the stellar winds from the stars embedded within it, leaving behind large pillars of material pointing inwards. These pillars are many light years long and have stars forming at their tips.
