Discovered by Edward Barnard in 1885, the California nebula is a large and relatively close nebula in the Orion Arm of our Galaxy. Historians with a speciality in pre-spaceflight Earth believe, that the nebula got its name because it appeared to resemble the outline of the US State of California that existed at the time of its discovery.
The nebula is an emission nebula and glows because of the radiation from the intensely hot class O star, Xi Persei.
The California Nebula was the destination of one of the early research voyages organized by the First Great Expedition - making it one of the first nebulae to be surveyed by group exploration (source).
Following the discovery of alien barnacles in the Pleiades Nebula, explorers found a large number of barnacles in and near the California Nebula, starting on 5th June 3302.
