NGC 7841: Smoke Nebula

This APOD is from the website: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap131101.html

This image is of NGC 7841, also known as the "Smoke Nebula". This nebula is found in the modern constellation of Frustriaus (the frustrated astrophotographer). The nebula is a few light-nanoseconds from Earth. This is not an expanding supernova remnant along the plane of the Milky Way. The image was created by using flash photography on rising smoke. It is composed of water droplets splayed by a planet mister by an astrophotographer who became frustrated. I think that this image is very interesting. I liked learning about the effects that caused this image to appear the way that it is and the actual truth to it's discovery.
