Description

Cosmic clouds form fantastic shapes in the central regions of the emission nebula IC 1805. The clouds are formed by stellar winds and radiation from hot massive stars in the nebula's newly formed star cluster, Melotte 15. The cluster stars, about 1.5 million years young, are spread across this colorful celestial landscape, along with silhouettes of dark dust clouds against luminous atomic gas.
