Description

The counterpart to the nearby "Heart" Nebula (IC 1805), the "Soul" Nebula is spectacular and sprawling in its own right.  Lying roughly 7,500 light-years away, this emission nebula is not only close to the Heart Nebula by line-of-sight from our earthly perspective, it's also physically close to its more prominent counterpart since both are comparable distances from us.
