The Wizard Nebula

Traveling ~7,200 light-years from the earth, into the constellation of Cepheus, you will fun into the star-forming region known as the Wizard Nebula. Within the nebula itself is the young, open star cluster NGC-7380. In the center of the cluster is the binary star system DH Cephei. These very hot, blue-white stars emit ultraviolet radiation that primarily ionize the surrounding nebulized gasses of the Wizard. ................................................................................ #space #science #nature #education #nebula
