Description:
NGC 7380, also known as the Wizard Nebula, is an open star cluster located in the constellation Cepheus, approximately 7,200 light-years from Earth. It is surrounded by an emission nebula, formed by gas ionized by the hot, young stars in the cluster. This cluster is relatively young, with stars only a few million years old. NGC 7380 is a popular target for amateur astronomers due to its fascinating structure and visibility with modest telescopes. The nebula resembles a wizard pointing a wand, hence its evocative name
