Soul Nebula IC1848
It is a cloud of cosmic gas and dust 150 light years wide that's being illuminated and carved by powerful streams of charged particles emanating from an open cluster of stars. It has an estimated age of 1 million years and is about 6.500 light years away in the constellation Cassiopeia.

NGC 7822 or Question mark Nebula
Is an emission nebula located in Cepheus, about 3,000 lightyears away with a radius of 149 light years It's a violent, chaotic deep-sky region where young stars are being born. Their powerful radiation ionising the surrounding gas and causing it to glow.

IC1805 Heart Nebula and Melotte 15
The Heart Nebula, also known as IC 1805, is an emission nebula located 7,500 lightyears away in the Cassiopeia constellation.
The term 'emission' means that the cosmic gas that forms the nebula is actually glowing itself, rather than reflecting starlight (as is the case with a reflection nebula).
Over the years IC 1805 has been designated as the 'Heart Nebula' due to its resemblance to the shape of a human heart.
At the centre of the Heart Nebula is an open star cluster called Melotte 15, which contains bright stars that are about 50 times as massive as our own Sun.
The stars of Melotte 15 are blasting the surrounding hydrogen and causing it to emit light, powering the Heart Nebula's beautiful glow.

IC1396 The Elephant's Trunk Nebula
Is a dense region of dust and gas found within the considerably larger star forming region in Cepheus. Designated IC 1396A, the elongated globule of dust and gas was named the Elephant's Trunk because it resembles an elephant's head and trunk at visible wavelengths, appearing as a dark patch with a bright winding rim. It is located at a distance of 2,400 light years from Earth. The large and relatively faint emission nebula IC 1396 is more than 100 light years across. The Elephant's Trunk itself stretches over a region of 20 light years The big red/orange star in right top corner is "Mu Cephei" or Garnet Star it is a red supergiant, it is often described as a hypergiant and is about 100,000 times brighter than the Sun.

Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)
50.000years since last, 42 million kilometers from our planet, the comet will offer a rare night-sky spectacle last seen when modern humans shared our planet with Neanderthals. This was the last time we saw this beauty before it leaved our solarsystem for millions of years.
