The Heart and Soul Nebulae in the constellation Cassiopeia
The Heart Nebula (at right, aka IC 1805) and the Soul Nebula (at left, aka IC 1848, and also the Fetus Nebula), in Cassiopeia. Just right of upper centre is the open star cluster NGC 1027. The star cluster in the middle of the Heart Nebula is called Melotte 15. The patch of nebulosity at upper right detached from the rest is NGC 896. The field is filled with numerous other clusters and dark nebulas from lesser known catalogs. The field lies right on the galactic equator, with most objects here located in the Perseus spiral arm, the next one out from ours, some 6000 to 7500 light years away

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the Heart and Soul Nebulae in the constellation Cassiopeia. The Heart Nebula, also known as IC 1805, is showcased on the right side of the image, while its celestial counterpart, the Soul Nebula (IC 1848), graces the left side. A striking open star cluster called NGC 1027 can be found just to the right of upper center, adding a touch of brilliance to this cosmic masterpiece. Melotte 15, a captivating star cluster nestled within the Heart Nebula, captivates viewers with its radiant presence. Meanwhile, an intriguing patch of nebulosity at upper right named NGC 896 stands out as it appears detached from its surroundings. This panoramic view reveals countless other clusters and dark nebulas from lesser-known catalogs scattered throughout this celestial field. Situated along our galactic equator in the Perseus spiral arm – approximately 6,000 to 7,500 light years away – these nebulous wonders offer a glimpse into deep space's infinite majesty. Cosmic dust and interstellar clouds create a luminous pink glow that illuminates this star-studded scene. The photograph showcases not only stunning astrophotography but also evokes feelings of awe and wonderment towards our vast universe. With no people present in this full-frame composition against a backdrop of endless stars and galaxies, one cannot help but feel humbled by nature's grandeur.
