NGC 7023: The Iris Nebula
The Iris Nebula, also known as NGC 7023, is a reflection nebula located 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. This deep telescopic view reveals its striking colors and symmetries. The nebula's dusty material surrounds a hot, young star, and the dominant blue color comes from starlight reflecting off fine dust particles. The intricate patterns are created by the interplay of light and shadow within these interstellar clouds.
