The Heart Nebula is an emission nebula, 7500 light years from Earth, located in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered by William Herschel on 3 November 1787. Spanning almost 2 degrees in the sky, its shape is driven by stellar winds from the hot stars in its core. The nebula displays glowing ionized hydrogen gas and darker dust lanes, and is also made up of ionised oxygen and sulfur gasses, which cause rich blue and orange colours to be seen in narrowband images. This photograph of the Heart Nebula, with the Fish Head Nebula also visible in the top right corner, is a narrowband image captured on a 70mm scope with a capture period of around 44 hours.

LOL -Jumbos nemesis 17:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC) I doubt she's much of a poet, really. Probably in real life, she's very different than you imagine; a little boring, a little geeky, a little shy and probably from de rong soide of de river. But she has survived the unimaginable. Trust me sir, she's really not your type at all. Maybe - just maybe - she was touched by your love and humour & maybe - just maybe - she's been hurt a lot along the way through life. If only you knew. Whatever on that, I guess you must have made her laugh too (and maybe cry, too, ever so slightly). Who knows? But I think she'd probably want you to know that. - Dumbos nematodes 06:53, 11 April 2007 (UTC) She'd probably want you to have a flower too, no doubt. She's funny that way - Dumbos nematodes 06:53, 11 April 2007 (UTC) |
