The Lobster Claw and Bubble Nebulae
============================
This wide-field image captures the stunning Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) in the constellation Cassiopeia, illuminated by the intense stellar winds of the massive star BD+60°2522. The bubble-shaped emission nebula spans about 7 light-years and glows with vibrant reds and subtle blues from ionized gas, creating a dramatic cosmic scene. Nearby, the intricate filaments of the Lobster Claw Nebula (Sh2-157) weave a delicate pattern of star-forming hydrogen gas, while the open cluster Messier 52 sparkles with young stars, adding depth and contrast to the celestial landscape.
This region beautifully showcases the powerful forces at work in stellar nurseries — where energy from massive stars sculpts gas and dust into breathtaking shapes that tell a story of ongoing star birth and evolution. Capturing this interplay of cosmic elements in one frame is a true astrophotography challenge and a tribute to the artistry of the universe.

#BubbleNebula
Good Saturday morning. Woke up later than usual due to me stay up yesterday. Starting out with an observation of the #BubbleNebula. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur
Happy Space Science Saturday! Have you heard of a star trapped within a bubble? Meet NGC 7635, also known as the Bubble Nebula. It is in the Cassiopeia constellation, about 7,100 light-years away from us. Scientists believe this massive star will go supernova in 10-20 million years.

I was processing the Images from last night. Here they are ;-)

Messier 52 and Bubble Nebula
The rather small Bubble Nebula pairs well with an open cluster also known as Messier 52.

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography I cropped this image to make the circular #BubbleNebula easier to see. This nebula is 8500 light years away in Cassiopeia. The bubble structure is a shock front formed as the stellar winds from the hot blue star BD+60°2522 hit the surrounding interstellar material. I captured 3.5 hours of five-minute exposures but just under 2 hours were usable for this image. #StillLearning
#KnowledgeBit: The #BubbleNebula is 7 light-years across – about one-and-a-half times the distance from our sun to its nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri – and resides 7,100 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia.
The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, SAO 20575 (BD+60°2522)
Incredibly, the #BubbleNebula #NGC7635 has a bubble of dense hot gas pressing against denser material creating a molecular cloud. 15 minute stack of my #astrophotography marathon.
Primer intento de fotografiar la Nebulosa de la Burbuja.
Una lástima haberme dado cuenta de que la primera hora de imágenes estaba completamente desenfocada.
Al menos, la segunda pude hacerla correctamente.

The #BubbleNebula from #Hubble
#Astronomy #Picture of the Day
The Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of an enormous bubble being blown into space by a super-hot, massive star. The Bubble Nebula, or NGC 7635, is 7 light-years across — about one-and-a-half times the distance from our Sun to its nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri.
