Pacman Nebula
Another star-forming region in Cassiopeia, the Pacman Nebula lies about 9,000 light-years away. The name is very fitting, but I wonder: in a hundred years, will astronomers scratch their heads and ask, ‘What’s a Pacman?’
The dark objects within the nebula are large accumulations of dust and gas, slowly concentrating to form new stars - the gas will form the stars, while the dust will form planets around them.
