Melotte 15 is the young star cluster at the very centre of the Heart Nebula in Cassiopeia, roughly 7,500 light years away. The massive stars there are responsible for sculpting these extraordinary pillars of gas and dust, carving them with intense radiation and stellar winds. It's a remarkably violent place that produces remarkably beautiful structures.
This is a narrowband image using the Hubble Palette, mapping emissions from sulphur, hydrogen and oxygen to red, green and blue channels. The colour is false but the detail is real. Those towering columns are light years tall. The hot ionised gas surrounding them glows in ways that shift depending on elemental composition, giving the whole region that layered, almost three-dimensional quality.
I've been obsessed with this target for a while. It rewards patience and long integration times!
