Happy Valentine's Day from space!❤️
Does Cassiopeia hold our Galaxy's heart? Officially named IC 1805, this cosmic dust cloud is more commonly referred to as the Heart Nebula (for obvious reasons). The radiation from young, hot stars at the centre of the nebula is heating up hydrogen molecules, giving the image its romantic red colour.
