NGC 7635, also known as the Bubble Nebula, Sharpless 162, or Caldwell 11, is an H II regionTemplate:Sfn emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It lies close to the open cluster Messier 52. The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7Template:Sfn magnitude young central star, SAO 20575 (BD+60°2522).Template:Sfn The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow.Template:Sfn It was discovered in November 1787 by William Herschel.[1] The star BD+60°2522 is thought to have a mass of about Template:Solar mass.
