Frank AdlerThe Heart Nebula<br>
=============<br>
<br>
For some reason, I keep coming back to this object. I just love all of those fine details in the heart nebula and it's neighbour, the fish head nebula.<br>
<br>
In the center of the heart nebula, there's a small open cluster of stars, called Melotte 15. These stars are responsible for the ionization of the surrounding gas, making it glow in the characteristic red hue of hydrogen alpha emissions.<br>
<br>
The fish head nebula, also known as IC 1795, is a bright emission nebula, located in the same star-forming region as the heart nebula. It's a bit fainter than its neighbour, but still shows a lot of fine details.<br>

earthling<p>IC 1795: The Fishhead Nebula</p><p>To some, this nebula looks like the head of a fish. However, this colorful cosmic portrait really features glowing gas and obscuring dust clouds in IC 1795, a star forming region in the northern constellation Cassiopeia. The nebula's colors were created by adopting the Hubble color palette.</p><p>Image Credit & Copyright: Roberto Colombari & Mauro Narduzzi</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/astrophotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>astrophotography</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/APOD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APOD</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nebula" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nebula</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FishheadNebula" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FishheadNebula</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IC1795" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IC1795</span></a></p>
