In the Eridanus constellation, and close to the Orion constellation, we find a very interesting and pretty faint reflection nebula, IC 2118. Also known as the Witch Head nebula, IC 2118 is believed to be made of gas, and dust and is about 50 light-years across....

The Andromeda galaxy, also catalogued as M31, is maybe the furthest object that can be seen by the naked eye, with the exception of M33 under pristine skies and exceptional eyes. This spiral galaxy lays around 2.5 million light years away from us. Because of its size...

VdB 152, at the edge of the Cepheus Flare

by | Mar 31, 2024 | Galactic Cirri, Nebulae

Near the edge of the Cepheus Flare, we find an interesting area in the Cepheus constellation full of different types of nebulae. Being vdB 152 the most prominent, next to vdB 152 we find another interesting nebula, the brownish Barnard 175. Crossing the image we find...
