Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "The Central Soul Nebula without Stars." Studies of stars and clusters like those found in the Soul Nebula have focused on how massive stars form and how they affect their environment. One way this is accomplished is the digital removal of stars to highlight the commotion in the gas and dust. At an estimated distance of 6,500 light-years the star-forming complex lies toward the constellation Cassiopeia. I'll post a wider image showing both the Heart and Soul Nebulae in a separate comment.

Thank you my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for November 10, 2020 entitled "The Central Soul Nebula without Stars."

This is an amazing and breathing image of a section of God's creation in the heavens

I hope and pray that you each are blessed this Veterans Day evening, my friends.

APOD Background
"Explanation: This cosmic close-up looks deep inside the Soul Nebula. The dark and brooding dust clouds near the top, outlined by bright ridges of glowing gas, are cataloged as IC 1871. About 25 light-years across, the telescopic field of view spans only a small part of the much larger Heart and Soul nebulae. At an estimated distance of 6,500 light-years the star-forming complex lies within the Perseus spiral arm of our Milky Way Galaxy, seen in planet Earth's skies toward the constellation Cassiopeia. An example of triggered star formation, the dense star-forming clouds in the Soul Nebula are themselves sculpted by the intense winds and radiation of the region's massive young stars. In the featured image, stars have been digitally removed to highlight the commotion in the gas and dust."
