Description

Yeah, yeah, I know - there's a bottom-half to this; it's in progress. But in the meantime, there's a whole host of detail in the upper half - open clusters, small emission nebulae, Bok globules, star-forming regions, you name it. Located ~7,500 light years away in Cassiopeia, this massive 'soul' covers an expanse of sky similar to several full moons.
