Bubble Nebula


Object Data

Object type: Emission Nebula
Size: 7 light years across
Magnitude: 10th
Constellation: Cassiopeia

Notes: Formed by stellar winds  (4 million miles/hr) from a massive star sweeping the cold interstellar gas in front, forming the outer edge of a bubble.  As the surface of the bubble's shell expands it slams into dense regions of cold gas on one side creating an asymmetry.
