NGC 896 is a bright emission nebula located in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It is part of a larger complex of star-forming regions and is approximately 2,700 light-years away from Earth. The nebula is known for its striking colors, which are produced by ionized gases, primarily hydrogen. The nebula is often studied by astronomers to understand the processes of star formation. Within NGC 896, new stars are born from the surrounding gas and dust, illuminating the region and contributing to its vibrant appearance. This area is also associated with the IC 1805 star cluster, which plays a significant role in the nebula's dynamics.
