NGC-7635 is a hydrogen emission nebula located in the constellation of Cassiopeia. The brightest portion of the nebula contains a "bubble" created by the stellar wind from an intensely hot, massiveblue white star, SAO 20575, which is pushing against the hydrogen cloud, creating a bubble that is about 7 light years in diameter. This nebula lies at a distance of 7100 light years from Earth, and was discovered by Sir William Herschel in 1787.
