Explanation:
Do you see the bubble in the center?   
  
Seemingly adrift in a cosmic sea of   
stars and glowing gas,   
the delicate, floating apparition   
in this widefield view is  
cataloged as NGC 7635 - The Bubble Nebula.  
  
A mere 10   
light-years wide, the tiny   
Bubble Nebula and  
the larger complex of interstellar  
gas and dust  
clouds are found about 11,000  
light-years  
distant, straddling the boundary between the parental constellations  
Cepheus and  
Cassiopeia.  
  
Also included in the   
breathtaking vista is  
open star  
cluster M52 (upper left), some 5,000 light-years away.  
  
The featured image spans about two   
degrees on the sky corresponding to a width of about   
375 light-years at the estimated distance of the  
Bubble Nebula.
