The picture above is in the constellation Cepheus, picturing, as astronomers call it, a ghostly apparation. It is very faint, only visible by the most powerful telescopes. This is an unordinary event, and although others have been seen before, there are not too many. It is rather ironic that this would appear on the telescopes on halloween day. It blocks the nebula partly, but gives a bluish tint to the pictures that can pass through the ultraviolet catching particles. It is about 7 light years away, and it seems that it just wandered into that area, being completely unpredictable. There is a luminescence that is given off that makes the pictures taken look even more mysterious.
