Hello everyone, I send my submission to APOD!

A cosmic bubble, NGC7635 The Bubble Nebula, it is a H II region emission nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. Stars are born inside these nebulae. Ultraviolet radiation emitted by stars inside and outside the nebula ionizes the gas and causes it to glow and emit its own light.

The "bubble" of gas from which this nebula takes its name has been formed by stellar winds, traveling at about 2000 km/s, from a central star, which has between 10 and 20 times the mass of our sun, they have been deforming and expanding the gas.

This nebula is at a distance of between 7,100 and 11,000 light years from Earth. The diameter of the bubble is said to be about 7 light years.

Image taken during these last nights. 14.25 hours of integration with photographs of 5 minutes of exposure each (171 photographs of 5 minutes of exposure in total)
