M52 and Bubble

The open cluster M52 and the more challenging Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) in Cassiopeia. The bubble is caused by an extremely hot young star that is blowing off a fierce stellar wind. This wind is slamming into the interstellar gas, forming the bubble, and dust and the hot star is causing the hydrogen gas to fluoresce.
