NeighborsI spent last night/this morning obtaining this 3 hour image of the Heart Nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia.
“This is a tremendous cloud of mostly hydrogen gas that has been ionized (e.g., electrified into glowing) to emit its typical red coloration. The object is said to resemble the human heart, but don't make too much of that. Image taken from my backyard observatory.”
