SQUID NEBULA

The Squid Nebula, also known as Ou4, is a stunning emission nebula located in the constellation of Cepheus. Its intricate tentacle-like structures are caused by shockwaves from its central star, which is a Wolf-Rayet star in the final stages of its life. The colorful hues of the nebula are produced by ionized gases such as hydrogen and oxygen.
