Nebulae
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a striking new image of the Egg Nebula, showcasing twin beams of light emerging from a hidden dying star. Located about 1,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, this pre-planetary nebula offers a rare glimpse into the early stages of a Sun-like star's death. The symmetrical structures suggest influences from possible unseen companion stars.
