Hubble's Nebulae - Science@NASA
Planetary nebulae form during the death of low-mass to medium-mass stars. When such stars die, they expel their outer layers into space. These expanding shells of gas form a huge variety of unique shapes – rings, hourglasses, rectangles, and …
Hubble Images - NASA Science
M57, or the Ring Nebula, is a planetary nebula, the glowing remains of a sun-like star. The tiny white dot in the center of the nebula is the star’s hot core, called a white dwarf.
Messier 27 (The Dumbbell Nebula) - Science@NASA
Planetary Nebula. An aging star's last hurrah is creating a flurry of glowing knots of gas that appear to be streaking through space in this close-up image of the Dumbbell Nebula, also known as Messier 27 (M27), taken with NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.

2024年10月28日 · Radiation from the white dwarf causes the gas to glow, creating a unique and beautiful formation called a planetary nebula. The name comes from the early days of astronomy, when observers thought the dim forms they saw through …
A selection of Hubble’s planetary nebulae | ESA/Hubble
A new study using Hubble observations has found that bipolar planetary nebulae located towards the central bulge of our Milky Way appear to be strangely aligned in the sky — a surprising result given their varied histories.
Planetary Nebula - ESA/Hubble
You can explore Hubble’s beautiful collection of planetary nebula images here. Using Hubble, astronomers caught a rare glimpse of the nebula Hen 3-1357, nicknamed the Stingray nebula, fading precipitously over just the past two decades. Even though the Universe is constantly changing, most processes are too slow to be observed within a human ...
A Glowing Pool of Light: Planetary Nebula NGC 3132
1998年11月5日 · NGC 3132 is nearly half a light year in diameter, and at a distance of about 2000 light years is one of the nearer known planetary nebulae. The gases are expanding away from the central star at a speed of 9 miles per second. This image, captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, clearly shows two stars near the center of the nebula, a bright ...

1997年12月17日 · [Bottom left] - Hubble 5 is a striking example of a "butterfly" or bipolar (two-lobed) nebula. The heat generated by fast winds causes each of the lobes to expand, much like a pair of balloons with internal heaters.
NASA SVS | Hubble Snaps a Splendid Planetary Nebula
2013年10月17日 · The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged striking details of the famed planetary nebula designated NGC 2818, which lies in the southern constellation of Pyxis (the Compass). The spectacular structure of the planetary nebula contains the outer layers of a star that were expelled into interstellar space. The glowing gaseous shrouds in the nebula ...
Hubble’s View of Planetary Nebula Reveals Complex Structure
2021年11月29日 · NGC 6891 is a bright, asymmetrical planetary nebula in the constellation Delphinus, the Dolphin. This Hubble image reveals a wealth of structure, including a spherical outer halo that is expanding faster than the inner nebula, and at least two ellipsoidal shells that are orientated differently.
