Stunning image of the Iris Nebula (NGC 7023) in the constellation Cepheus. This reflection nebula, 1300 light-years away, displays vibrant blue hues from starlight reflecting off dust grains, with reddish photoluminescence in central filaments. The nebula's structure resembles a flower, spanning six light-years, and contains complex carbon molecules (PAHs). Credit: R. Shepherd.
