Poster Print : Merope star and nebulosity
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Merope star and nebulosity
Merope star and associated nebulosity. Merope (23 Tauri) is one of the stars in the Pleiades open star cluster (M45). Unusually for a nebula, the gas and dust is not associated with the young stars, instead the cluster just happens to be passing through an unrelated cloud. The nebula appears blue as blue light is scattered more efficiently than other wavelengths. The nebula surrounding the star is called NGC 1435, and the part at left is IC 349. Merope, like the rest of the Pleiades cluster, lies around 440 light years from Earth in the constellation Taurus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the ethereal beauty of the Merope star and its associated nebulosity. Located within the Pleiades open star cluster, Merope (23 Tauri) stands out as a mesmerizing celestial gem. Unlike typical nebulae, the gas and dust surrounding this young star are not directly linked to its formation but rather an unrelated cloud that coincidentally intersects with the cluster's path. The captivating blue hue of the nebula is a result of efficient scattering of blue light, creating a dreamlike atmosphere around Merope. The intricate details reveal NGC 1435 encompassing most of the stellar body while IC 349 gracefully adorns its left side. Situated approximately 440 light years away from Earth in the constellation Taurus, Merope and its companions in Pleiades showcase nature's artistic prowess on a grand scale. This awe-inspiring image serves as a testament to mankind's ability to explore and comprehend our vast universe through astronomical observations. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this celestial spectacle using advanced telescopic technology, allowing us to appreciate both the scientific significance and sheer visual splendor contained within this single frame.
