apod 3.7

This weeks APOD is titled The Heart and Soul Nebulas. There are two bright emission nebulas known as Heart and Soul. Both of these bright nebulas shine in the red light from the hydrogen. Light takes roughly 6,000 years to reach the nebulas. Stars and clusters such as these nebulas have been studied by their size and form. These nebulas also affect their environment. The heart nebulas specifically has a heart shape if you look close enough.
