      Explanation: What powers are being wielded in the Wizard Nebula?   
      Gravitation strong enough to form stars, and stellar winds and   
      radiations powerful enough to create and dissolve towers of gas.   
      Located only 8,000 light years away, the Wizard nebula, featured here,   
      surrounds developing open star cluster NGC 7380. Visually, the   
      interplay of stars, gas, and dust has created a shape that appears to   
      some like a fictional medieval sorcerer. The active star forming region   
      spans 100 about light years, making it appear larger than the angular   
      extent of the Moon. The Wizard Nebula can be located with a small   
      telescope toward the constellation of the King of Aethiopia (Cepheus).   
      Although the nebula may last only a few million years, some of the   
      stars being formed may outlive our Sun.
