VdB 141, also known as the Ghost Nebula, is a hauntingly beautiful reflection nebula situated in the constellation Cepheus. This celestial apparition gets its name due to its ghostly, ethereal appearance, as it appears to be a faint, shimmering cloud against the dark backdrop of space.

In this striking image, VdB 141 is bathed in the soft glow of starlight, which is scattered and reflected by dust grains within the nebula. This creates a captivating blue haze that envelopes the nebula, making it seem almost like a phantom in the cosmic night. The nebula is a stellar nursery where new stars are born.
