This is two bright emission nebulas nicknamed Heart and Soul and are found in Cassiopeia. Its official name is IC 1805. I prefer the heart and soul nebulas! :-) Though it doesn't look that much like a heart, however not much in astronomy looks like what people say it does. I have spent hours on objects and still can't see what is supposed to be there!
