ABOUT THE IMAGE
Melotte 15
You could call Melotte 15 "The heart of the heart", as this small star cluster is located right in the center of IC 1805, otherwise known as the Heart Nebula. Some of its stars are estimated more than 50 times the mass of our sun, others are tiny. Their young age and highly energetic state are responsible for the bright illuminated gas and dust clouds around the cluster.
