IC 1848, also known as W5, is a giant stellar nursery, about 7,000 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. Notable for it's stunning features, like interstellar clouds of cold gas and dust, sculpted by winds and radiation from a hot, massive stars, it is a fantastic image to behold. The most dramatic structure, dubbed "Mountains of Creation" by Astronomers, is about 10 times the size of the analogous Pillars of Creation in M16, made famous in a 1995 Hubble Space Telescope view. Along with IC 1805 it is part of a complex region popularly dubbed the Heart and Soul Nebulae.
