Photographing the “Pac-Man” Nebula: A Stunning View from the Abu Dhabi-based Seal Astronomical Observatory

The Seal Astronomical Observatory, affiliated with the International Astronomy Center, photographs the “Pac-Man” Nebula from Abu Dhabi. It is an emission nebula located in the Cassiopeia group. The black nodes are a mixture of gas and dust, blocking the light behind them. They are a place where stars are born, 9,200 light-years away from Earth, while it takes light 96 years to cross the nebula from beginning to end.
