    Amid the Soul Nebula's harsh red light, a cocoon of gas holds baby stars in the making in this ethereal new Hubble telescope image.

    The Soul Nebula (also called Westerhout 5 or IC 1848) and a star-forming bubble within it

    When it was taken: Sept. 29, 2023

    Where it is: 7,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia, in the Perseus spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy

    The Soul Nebula, with a star-forming "tadpole" in the upper center left.

    A beautiful new Hubble Space Telescope image published in late September shows a dark, tadpole-shaped object within a sea of red.

    That sea is a nebula — a huge cloud of dust and gas in space — called the Soul Nebula.

    Specifically, it's an emission nebula — a bright, diffuse cloud of electrically charged gas that emits its own light, according to NASA.

    The nebula is red because it's emitting H-alpha light, which is the result of electrons within hydrogen atoms releasing light as they become less energetic.
