|
IC 1805 is located about 7,500 light years away toward the constellation Cassiopeia. Cosmic clouds seem to form fantastic shapes in the central regions of emission nebula,
the clouds are sculpted by stellar winds and radiation from massive hot stars in the nebula's newborn star cluster. About 1.5 million years young, the cluster stars appear on the right in this colorful image, along with dark dust clouds silhouetted against glowing atomic gases.
