NGC 7380, aka Wizard nebula (Zoomed-in; SHO)

The Wizard Nebula (NGC 7380) is a glowing region of space about 7200 light-years away. Named for its mystical, cloaked appearance, if you’ve got a good imagination then you might see a celestial sorcerer casting spells across the night sky. It’s actually a star-forming region home to young, hot stars that illuminate the surrounding clouds of gas and dust, creating the vivid colors we can see in this astrophoto.
