Broken heart nebula and Mel 15

[jaspalchadha]

The IC1805 ( Heart Nebula ) is about 7500 light years away in constellation Cassiopeia. The object is of an emission nebula showing wonderful glow of ionized elements in a gas cloud and dust lanes

In a very centre of the nebula, floats the Melotte 15, it contains few very bright stars, nearly 60 times mass of our Sun, and many dim ones. The solar wind, a radiation pressure, from massive stars makes the gas twist to a various shapes.
