Cederblad and the surrounding nebula clouds begin to emerge through the gloom of Valencia’s urban skies. This is a three panel mosaic revealing the cosmic question mark. NGC 7822 can be found at the edge of a giant molecular cloud in Cepheus and lies approximately 3,000 light-years away from our home planet.
