Inside IC 1805, the glowing Heart Nebula
NASA’s image archive describes a vast star-forming cloud powered by young stars about 7,500 light-years away.
TLDR
Complex shared photos credited to NASA and described a heart-shaped nebula without naming it. NASA’s archive separately documents IC 1805, the Heart Nebula, a nearly 200-light-year-wide cloud about 7,500 light-years away. Its red glow comes from hydrogen gas energized by hot young stars near the center, including the cluster Melotte 15.
