See it on NASA's siteIn the heart of the emission nebula IC 1805, cosmic clouds take on fantastic shapes. These structures are sculpted by stellar winds and radiation from the massive, hot stars within the nebula's young star cluster, Melotte 15. The cluster, about 1.5 million years old, illuminates the colorful gas and casts dark dust clouds into silhouette.
