Sh2-245 is a bright emission nebula located in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It is part of a larger complex of star-forming regions and is known for its vivid colors, which are produced by ionized gases. The nebula is approximately 2,500 light-years away from Earth and spans several light-years across. This nebula is often studied by astronomers to understand the processes of star formation and the interactions between stars and their surrounding gas and dust. Sh2-245 contains several young stars that contribute to the illumination of the surrounding material, making it a fascinating object for both amateur and professional astronomers.
