COSMIC MESSAGE

The Soul Nebula, IC 1898, is a large star-forming region in the constellation Cassiopeia. It contains several open star clusters and a large radio source known as W5. Winds from young, massive stars have carved out huge evacuated bubbles within the nebula, which sits about 6,500 light-years away.
