APOD: 2019 October 25 - The Ghosts of Cassiopeia

Good R.E.D. Friday afternoon Maj William W. 'Bill' Price !!! Just got my home network reconfigured, so am back in business (at least for now, LOL!) The image today is as dramatically awesome as usual and I have done a short amount of research I found a nice short video that enhances the image you posted, so I have included it here as an adjunct to it...

"Explanation: These bright rims and flowing shapes look ghostly on a cosmic scale. A telescopic view toward the constellation Cassiopeia, the colorful skyscape features swept-back, comet-shaped clouds IC 59 (left) and IC 63. About 600 light-years distant, the clouds aren't actually ghosts. They are slowly disappearing though, under the influence of energetic radiation from hot, luminous star gamma Cas. Gamma Cas is physically located only 3 to 4 light-years from the nebulae, the bright star just above and left in the frame. Slightly closer to gamma Cas, IC 63 is dominated by red H-alpha light emitted as hydrogen atoms ionized by the star's ultraviolet radiation recombine with electrons. Farther from the star, IC 59 shows proportionally less H-alpha emission but more of the characteristic blue tint of dust reflected star light. The field of view spans over 1 degree or 10 light-years at the estimated distance of gamma Cas and friends."
