Target Details
NGC 7635, also known as the Bubble Nebula, or Caldwell 11, is a HII region emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia.

The nebula lies at a distance of 7,100 to 11,000 light years from Earth.

The Bubble Nebula was created about 300,000 years ago, when stellar wind from the massive hot (8.7 magnitude) young central star, SAO 20575, expelled a shell of dust and gas. The expelled material rapidly moved away from the star and, as it interacted with the nearby molecular cloud, it began to create the nebula’s bubble shape.
