The Bubble Nebula, NGC-7635, is an emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia, about 7,100 to 11,000 light-years from Earth. Its name comes from its spherical bubble shape. It's an example of how the powerful solar winds and radiation from a massive star can shape the surrounding interstellar dust and gas. NGC-7538 is an emission nebula within an active star-forming region located in the constellation Cepheus, about 9,100 light-years from Earth. In the constellation Cassiopeia is M-52, an open star cluster with stars that are loosely bound by gravity and were formed from the same giant molecular cloud. M-52 contains 200-300 stars and is estimated to be about 5,000 light years from Earth. HD220819 with an apparent magnitude of around 6.5 is in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was used by astronomers as a comparison star for Nova Cassiopeia 2021 to estimate the brightness of the nova.

Another Planet?
A new "world" named Ammonite (2023 KQ14) has been confirmed within our solar system! It's a Sednoid, a type of distant object with a highly elongated orbit. Estimated diameter between 220-380 km (137-236 miles).
New Planet? NASA's James Webb Telescope makes discovery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms4tM6O_p9c
