+OpenNebula 6.10 is named after the `Bubble Nebula <https://www.constellation-guide.com/bubble-nebula-ngc-7635/>` (NGC 7635) in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is a young, glowing emission nebula energized by a hot, massive central star. Partly located in a group of stars between 7000 and 8000 light-years away from Earth, the Bubble Nebula is in expansion, with a central “bubble” measuring between six and ten light-years and an estimated temperature of more than 37,000 degrees Celsius (67,000 Fahrenheit). It was discovered by celebrated astronomer William Herschel in 1787.
