Description |
||||
A lovely reflection nebula in Cepheus, NGC 7129 also contains many young stars (which provide the illumination for the reflective dust), and also examples of Herbig-Haro objects -- these crescent-shaped areas of red nebulosity arise when gas, ejected by the young stars, collides with nearby interstellar gas and dust. HH objects are typically seen along the rotational axis of the star, and are a relatively brief cosmic light show; that is, they only last a few thousand years. |
