These cosmic clouds can be found 1,300 light-years away in the constellation of Cepheus and is called the Iris Nebula (NGC 7023). This deep telescopic image shows off the Iris Nebula's range of colors and symmetries embedded in surrounding fields of interstellar dust. Within the Iris itself, dusty nebular material surrounds a hot, young star. The dominant color of the reflection nebula is blue, which is because of dust grains reflecting starlight. Central filaments of the reflection nebula glow with a faint reddish photoluminescence as some dust grains convert the star's invisible ultraviolet radiation to visible red light. Infrared observations indicate that this nebula contains complex carbon molecules known as PAHs. People tend to say that this nebula reminds them of a flower, so it’s dusty blue ‘petals’ span about six light-years.

I Helped On A Film! Whoa!!

ALSO WILD NEWS: My friend Jessie Gender is working on a film for Nebula, IDENTITEAZE, that I did the concept art for! Learn more here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAALW4MSi7M And subscribe to Nebula to watch it when it comes out here: https://go.nebula.tv/identiteaze

SPACEMAS DAY 5 ✨🪐🌎☄️☀️🌕

Time to pull out one of my favourites! These stunning cosmic clouds have blossomed 1,300 light-years away in the fertile starfields of the constellation Cepheus. Known as the Iris Nebula, NGC 7023 is not the only nebula to evoke the imagery of flowers. Still, this deep telescopic image shows off the nebula’s range of colors and symmetries embedded in surrounding fields of interstellar dust. Within the Iris itself, dusty nebular material surrounds a hot, young star. The dominant color of the brighter reflection nebula is blue, characteristic of dust grains reflecting starlight. The central filaments of the reflection nebula glow with a faint reddish photoluminescence as some dust grains effectively convert the star's invisible ultraviolet radiation to visible red light.
