NGC 7538, near the more famous Bubble Nebula, is located in the constellation Cepheus. It is located about 9,100 light-years from Earth. It is home to the biggest yet discovered protostar which is about 300 times the size of the Solar System. [4]

NGC 7538 is a Star Cluster + Nebula in the Cepheus constellation. NGC 7538 is situated close to the northern celestial pole and, as such, it is visible for most part of the year from the northern hemisphere.

NGC 7538 is a star cluster surrounded by an emission nebula. The distance is about 2.44 kpc (~ 7900 light years). [145] . The nebula consists mostly of hydrogen gas, but also contains cosmic dust that glows brightly in the far-infrared spectrum.

It's January 11, and today's image showcases a diffuse nebula known as NGC 7538, found in the constellation Cepheus. Located some 9,000 light-years from Earth, the nebula is a region of active...

NGC 7538 is an emission and reflection nebula near the Cassiopeia - Cepheus border. It is home to the largest known protostar.

NGC 7538 is an often overlooked nebula due to its proximity to the more famous NGC 7635, the Bubble Nebula. This area is a region where numerous stars are being born and, therefore, it is crowded with YSOs (Young Stellar Objects) as well as with protostars.

2014年6月12日 · The Herschel Space Observatory has uncovered a weird ring of dusty material while obtaining one of the sharpest scans to date of a huge cloud of gas and dust, called NGC 7538. The gigantic ring structure is situated at the center-top of this image.

2014年3月3日 · With a total mass of almost 400 000 Suns, NGC 7538 is an active factory where stars come to life – especially huge ones that are over eight times more massive than the Sun. Hundreds of seeds of future stellar generations nestle in the mixture of surrounding gas and dust scattered across the image.

NGC 7538 (Sh2-158) is an emission/reflection nebula located near the much better known Bubble Nebula in the constellation Cepheus. It is located about 9,100 light-years from Earth. NGC 7538 is...

2010年12月2日 · Often overshadowed by the more famous Bubble Nebula which lies nearby, NGC 7538 is an exciting emission and reflection nebula located in Cepheus.
