Looks very impressive and I guess several light years wide? Do you know what the light source in the areas that look like lightning is?

Thanks Alex, the soul nebula is 580 light years across so unfathomable... The light source as with all nebulas are star illumination. There are actually several designated nebulas and star forming regions within the overall IC 1848 nebula.

very impressive, as always. This one looks like an animal to me-maybe a pig? Wonder why it's called "soul".
