Soul Nebula Poster

The Soul Nebula, real astrophotography from 7,500 light-years away. IC 1848 sits alongside the Heart Nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia — the two are physically connected, often photographed together, and together they form one of the most beautiful regions of star formation in the northern sky.
The "soul" name comes from the nebula's silhouette — to many it resembles a fetus or human form, an accidental cosmic Rorschach. What you're seeing is hydrogen gas being lit up by young stars embedded inside, pockets of new stars still being born in dense knots of dust. The red is the gas; the dark veins are the dust that hasn't been blown away yet.
