Hearts for everyone! Love is in the air from the Heart Nebula! 💗 #ValentinesDay

Image Credit: Adam Jensen
Image Description: A high-resolution image of the Heart Nebula (IC 1805), a vibrant red and pink emission nebula located in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way. The nebula’s glowing hydrogen gas and dark dust lanes form a shape resembling a cosmic heart, surrounded by a field of distant stars. The bright central region is powered by a young star cluster, contributing to the nebula’s stunning illumination.

This Hubble image isn’t uniform. Why? Dust is between us and this globular star cluster Terzan 12, which is is about 15,000 light-years from Earth.

The dust clouds cause different parts of the cluster appear redder: bit.ly/428s4YT 🔭 🧪
A dramatically crowded starfield, Terzan 12. The black background of space can hardly be seen against many thousands of tiny, white, blue, and orange points of light, which are stars. Several dozen slightly larger blue and orange stars appear throughout. The top, left, and thin right edge form a rough triangle along the left side and appear darker, indicating dust.
