APOD 3.2

Polaris Dust Nebula
Polaris is located in Ursa Minor, known in English as the Small Bear with the asterism quite commonly known as the Little Dipper. It is very cool to know that these "dust nebulae" are actually the results of combustions in the galaxy. This is another pretty picture such as all of the rest of my APODs have been if they were not regarded as interesting. The prettier pictures are always more interesting and fun to learn about.
