      The Soul Nebula

      IC 1848, known as the Soul Nebula, is a huge emission nebula found in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It is approx. 6,500 light years from Earth in the Perseus spiral arm of the Milky Way. It houses several open star clusters, a large radio source known as W5, huge hollow bubbles formed by the winds of young massive stars, and tall dust pillars where new stars continue to form.
