The dark and brooding dust clouds on the left, outlined by bright ridges of glowing gas, are cataloged as IC 1871. About 25 light-years across, the telescopic field of view spans only a small part of the much larger Heart and Soul nebulae. At an estimated distance of 6,500 light-years the star-forming complex lies within the Perseus spiral arm of our Milky Way Galaxy, seen in planet Earth&#8217;s skies toward the constellation Cassiopeia. An example of triggered star formation, the dense star-forming clouds of IC 1871 are themselves sculpted by the intense winds and radiation of the region&#8217;s massive young stars. The featured image appears mostly red due to the emission of a specific color of light emitted by excited hydrogen gas. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap181128.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This cosmic close-up looks deep inside the Soul Nebula.
