"NGC 7129, a.k.a. the Small Cluster Nebula, or the Flower Bud Nebula, is a reflection nebula located in the constellation Cepheus. A young open cluster is responsible for illuminating the surrounding nebula.
The nebula is rosebud-shaped; the young stars have blown a large, oddly shaped bubble in the molecular cloud that once surrounded them at their birth. The rosy pink color comes from glowing dust grains on the surface of the bubble being heated by the intense light from the young stars within."(Wikipedia)
