Universe Observed From A Pale Blue Dot

This is not a valentine card! The object pictured here, known as IC 1805, is a young star cluster surrounded by Ha emitting nebulosity, located in the constellation Cassiopeia. This region is also known as the “Heart Nebula,” since it resembles a heart on a wider field view. IC 1805 is located about 7,500 light years away toward the constellation Cassiopeia.
