WWW.ASTRONOMY.COM 73- HALLOWEEN NEBULA
The Ghost of Cassiopeia
(IC 63) is a reflection nebula
near the star Navi (Gamma [γ]
Cassiopeiae). The Ghost got
its common name because
the brilliance of Navi through
a telescope often hides it.
IC 63 lies some 600 light-
years away. • Oleg Bouevitch - SLASH!
Hartl-Dengl-Weinberger 2
(Sharpless 2–200) is an
old planetary nebula in
Cassiopeia. The more
common name for this object
is the Bear Claw Nebula. For
this image, the photographer
captured more than 32 hours
of exposures. • Douglas J.
Struble - GOOD MOON RISING
The gibbous Moon appears
behind the Chesterton
Windmill in Warwickshire,
England, in this image taken
September 17, 2019. The
windmill, which was built
around 1633, is 36 feet
(11 meters) high. The Moon’s
image is distorted by the
amount of Earth’s atmosphere
the Moon’s light must pass
through near the horizon.
