🍃 NGC 281 – The Pacman Nebula 🌌✨
Meet NGC 281, famously called the Pacman Nebula due to its distinctive shape. This bright emission nebula lies in the constellation Cassiopeia, showcasing glowing clouds of hydrogen gas sculpted by young, hot stars.
📍 Constellation: Cassiopeia
✨ Distance from Earth: ~9,200 light-years
📏 Apparent Size: ~30 arcminutes (about the size of the Full Moon)
🔭 Apparent Magnitude: +7.4
📡 Coordinates (J2000):
Right Ascension: 00h 52m 59s
Declination: +56° 37′ 19″
💡 Did You Know?
NGC 281 is an H II region, rich in ionized hydrogen that emits light when energized by nearby O- and B-type stars.
The dark patches and lanes are dense regions of dust and gas, potential birthplaces for new stars.
The name “Pacman” comes from its resemblance to the classic video game character, with a “bite” taken out of its circular shape.
Part of the IC 1590 star cluster is embedded within, powering the nebula’s glow.

I apologize for giving anyone the heebie-jeebies, but I just had to upload this - a black widow with either her prey or egg sac (I can't be too sure which it is!)... I was so itchy for the rest of the day after this encounter. ;)
for me, tomorrow is my first day,
so please, don't tempt me in the wrong way.
it's almost after midnight;
i can see the city lights, we're here.
change your mind tonight;
you belong to the city now.
and you're closer now, I know;
'you belong on the radio'.
i will not disturb you:
i was just returning you a compliment.
