Description:
IC 447 is a beautiful complex of reflection and dark nebula two and a half degrees west from the well known Cone Nebula. Contrary to the Emission Nebulas, reflection nebulas do not emit radiation of its own. They are dust and gas that reflects the light energy from a nearby stars or group of stars. In this case IC 447 reflects the light of massive blue stars which are more hotter than our Sun.
