The Heart of the Heart Nebula, IC 1805 Cosmic clouds form fantastic shapes in the central regions of emission nebula IC 1805. The clouds are sculpted by stellar winds and radiation from massive hot stars in the nebula’s newborn star cluster, Melotte 15 about 1.5 million years old. The star cluster, along with dark dust clouds in silhouette against glowing atomic gas. consists of glowing gas and obscuring clouds in the northern constellation Cassiopeia. The nebula’s remarkable details are shown in the Hubble palette with Hydrogen gas in green, Sulfur gas in red, and Oxygen gas in blue. Ionized by ultraviolet light from energetic young stars, the hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen atoms emit characteristic light as its electrons are recaptured and transition to lower energy states.
