Description:
VdB 152 is a dark nebula located about 1400 light-years away in the constellation Cepheus. Part of these interstellar clouds, which become visible only in long exposure photos, is illuminated by the reflected light of a nearby star, giving the upper part its characteristic blue-blue color.
