NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“The Heart and Soul Nebulas” is copyrighted by David Lindemann. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

Two bright emission nebulae nicknamed Heart and Soul are found in Cassiopeia. The Heart Nebula, officially IC 1805, has a shape reminiscent of a classical heart symbol. Both nebulae shine brightly in the red light of energized hydrogen, and several young open clusters of stars are visible in blue.
