A colorful composite image of the Soul Nebula (W5) in Cassiopeia. The nebula, also known as the "Soul of the Queen of Aethopia", is home to several open star clusters, dark ridges and pillars, and vast bubbles sculpted by stellar winds. Located about 6,500 light years away, this nebula spans about 100 light years.

Stars are forming in the Soul of the Queen of Aethopia. More specifically, a large star forming region called the Soul Nebula can be found in the direction of the constellation Cassiopeia, whom Greek mythology credits as the vain wife of a King who long ago ruled lands surrounding the upper Nile
