The Astonishing Flaming Star Nebula #SpaceSaturday
Nebula are the shades of stars, celestial ghosts, light-year long monuments to dead stars. They’re the best. And with each advance in astrophotography, we see their majesty with ever greater fidelity. Here’s more from Astronomy Now:
The Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405, Caldwell 31 & Sh2-229) is a rippling cloud of gas and dust lying about 1,500 light years away in Auriga, the Charioteer. It is one of the finest imaging targets in the northern sky as a large, attractive and famous nebula that’s both an emission (H-II region) and reflection nebula rolled into one. It can be found and observed through a medium- to large-aperture telescope and has the dual advantage that it’s observable all night and rides high close to the zenith at culmination.
