Located about 6,000 light-years from Earth, the Heart Nebulae(IC1805) forms a vast star-forming complex that makes up part of the Perseus spiral arm of our Milky Way galaxy. The Perseus arm lies further from the center of the Milky Way than the arm that contains our sun. The Heart Nebulae stretchs out nearly 300 light-years across, covering a small portion of the diameter of the Milky Way, which is roughly 100,000 light-years across. (Source NASA)
