California Nebula

The California Nebula

The California Nebula, officially known as NGC 1499, is an emission nebula located in the constellation Perseus. It spans about 100 light-years and resembles the outline of the state of California, hence its name. This nebula is primarily illuminated by the star Xi Persei (also known as Menkib), which causes the hydrogen gas to glow a bright red. The California Nebula is not visible to the naked eye but can be observed with specialized astronomical equipment. It's a popular target for astrophotographers due to its unique shape and the beautiful contrast it provides against the backdrop of space.
