Clouds of Perseus

COSMIC MESSAGE
Drifting across 17 degrees of the constellation Perseus, these cosmic clouds of gas and dust glow with the characteristic red light of atomic hydrogen. The brightest region is the California Nebula, NGC 1499, powered by the ultraviolet light of the star Xi Persei. This collaborative skyscape captures the intricate interplay of light and shadow in a stellar nursery.
