California Nebula (photo at left)
Photo: STARHOME OBSERVATORY/AstroStock. This is the California Nebula (NGC 1499), named because of the similarity in shape to the state's geographical outline. It is located 1000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Perseus. The bright star (right center) is Xi Persei and is believed to be the illuminator of the nebula.
