NGC 1999

File:Ngc1999.jpg
Original - Color image of reflection nebula NGC 1999. The nebula is filled with dust; this dust then shines from the light of the variable star V380. This nebula is located 1,500 light-years from Earth and its star is located in the constellation Orion.
Reason
I've had my eye on this for a while. It provides excellent EV for a reflection nebula, even showing the tint of its reflection. Otherwise, high res. and enticing.

  • Need to fix the caption, I suspect it's a bit more than 1500 miles away. :) --Golbez (talk) 08:57, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Caption is fixed per the image source. What wavelength/frequency is the source if its false colour? Noodle snacks (talk) 10:31, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Actually, source says nothing about false coloring. I've removed that bit from the caption. —Ceran [ speak ] 13:04, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
