Monoceros: Pacman and the Ghost

The Pacman and Ghost nebulae sit within a rich starfield. The ghost is illuminated by the bright star Navi and Pacman is illuminated by it's own glowing Hydrogen and Oxygen.

While they may appear here to be similar distances from earth, the Pacman Nebula is over 6500 light years away and the Ghost Nebula is only 550 light years away!
