Jewel Bug Nebula 💎🪲 NGC 7027, affectionately called the “Jewel Bug” Nebula, is a planetary nebula – a collection of clouds of dust and gas cast off by a dying star. Hubble’s near-ultraviolet observations of this nebula will help reveal how much dust obscures its central star and how hot the star really is. The Jewel Bug Nebula is located around 3,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. Image credit: NASA, ESA and J. Kastner (RIT) Music credit: “Inertia” by Lincoln Jaeger [PRS] via At

Try not to bubble over… Dive into this beautiful Hubble visualization of the Bubble Nebula, located about 7,100 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. This “bubble” is actually seven light-years across! It’s being blown into space by a massive, super-hot star about 45 times the size of our Sun. Gas on the star gets so hot that it escapes into space as a "stellar wind" moving at over 4 million miles per hour. This outflow sweeps up the cold, interstellar gas in front of it, forming the
