The Heart Nebula is located somewhere around 7500 light years away from Earth and is part of the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. This is an emission nebula showing glowing gas and darker dust lanes. The nebula is formed by plasma of ionized hydrogen and free electrons. Amazingly beautiful and of course it's rightly named, I can plainly see the resemblance to the human heart. I also see Nobody right smack dab it it's center! Nobody calls this interstellar cloud home. At least Nobody on Earth!
