The Heart Nebula (IC1805) is one of a pair of bright nebula in Cassiopeia (the other the Soul Nebula IC1848). The very brightest part to the right is separately designated NGC896 and was discovered before the remainder and dimmer parts of the nebula that make its distinctive shape. The center of the nebula features an open cluster of young and massive stars (catalogued O.C. Melotte 15) which cause the deep red glow of the remainder of the nebula. The Heart Nebula is one of the prettiest and most recognized in the northern sky.
