'''NGC 7822''' is a young star forming complex in the constellation of Cepheus. The complex also includes one of the hottest stars discovered within 1 kpc of the Sun within an eclipsing binary system. The star is one of the primary sources illuminating the nebula and shaping the complex's famed pillars of creation-type formations, the elephant trunks. | |||
One commander embarked on an expedition to the nebula and has provided detailed information on the journey: | |||

Mapping NGC 7822 Nebula (It's Black Hole Paradise!)]<blockquote>''"'''NGC 7822''' hangs like a scattering of bright diamonds, but that is only apparent as you draw near. From a distance the nebula looks like a large white dot; easily mistakable for a planetary body. Yet whilst it may look quite unremarkable at this view point, it is without doubt one of the wonders of the galaxy.''</blockquote><blockquote>''Once you enter the nebula it is as though you are transported to a different dimension, the first thing that hits you is the blue light of the stars which illuminate your cockpit with vivid shades. All the major systems inside this region contain Class O Blue / White stars. The nebula itself is red and black, the dark areas are in fact so dark that they completely occlude the galactic core. The surrounding space is dark with so few stars that it is actually possible to count them, the absence of the galactic core after its constant presence is striking.''</blockquote><blockquote>''A typical system will often contain multiple stars, and it's not unusual for a system to contain around 10 stars and in some cases many, many more. Such stars will be from a variety of class, and will include the usual white and brown dwarfs. All orbiting in sometimes complex layouts."''</blockquote><blockquote>'''— Obsidian Ant'''</blockquote> | |||
