Reflecting Merope

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Merope Nebula, part of the Pleiades star cluster, is a reflection nebula. It glows because the dust within it reflects the light from the bright star Merope. This type of nebula is characterized by blue light, as blue light scatters more efficiently off dust grains than red light.
