Description

This is an image of IC 63, a reflection and emission nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is about 550 light-years away from Earth. It is sometimes known as "the Ghost of Cassiopeia". This is a narrowband image, with hydrogen shown as red, oxygen as green, and sulfur as blue. Because hydrogen glows in red light, this is more of a true color image than one displayed using the Hubble Palette.
