APOD 1.1

APOD 1.1

This is the open start cluster NGC 7380. This was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The stars are inside interstellar gas. The picture is most commonly referred to as the Wizard Nebula. This is because of the gas and dust properly combined like the picture. This nebula is very far away its about 8,000 light years away. Its colors are because of hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur wavelengths to the Hubble Telescope. That's all for today!
