Description |
||||
Lying in the western part of Cepheus, this beautiful object is a fairly unusual pure reflection nebula, caused by light from the central magnitude 7 star, SAO 19158, being reflected off the abundance of dust particles left over from when the star was formed. NGC 7023 is really a misnomer since it refers to the open cluster visible in this image immediately to the west of the nebulous region. The correct designation for the nebula itself is LBN 487. |
