Description:
The Heart (IC1805, Sh2-190) and Soul (IC1848, Sh2-199, LBN 667) are a pair of emission nebulae that lie some 7,500 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. While IC1848 is often used as the designation for the Soul Nebula, it is actually the open cluster in the "body" of the nebula. The correct designation for the Soul Nebula is LBN 667, also known as Sh2-199. In the upper left corner is an emission nebula designated Sh2-200 and a star cluster known as Trumpler 3.
