Cave Nebula
Located about 2,400 light years away, towards the Cepheus constellation and catalogued as Sh2-155, the \"Cave Nebula\", is a diffuse Hydrogen-Alpha (Hα) emission nebula, inside a complex region of gas and dust. The hydrogen gas is ionized by the radiation of nearby young, hot stars inside the Cepheus molecular cloud and emits copious amounts of visible light with the characteristic red light. Astronomers have found that inside the nebula new stars are being born, as the radiation of the hot stars compresses the gas and triggers the star-forming process. It is a difficult object, faintly visible with a large telescope, but photographs reveal a wealth of detail, especially with the use of specialized filters.
VdB 155 is the small blue reflection nebula above and to the right of the Cave Nebula.
