NASA's Hubble Telescope Captures Stunning Image Of Blue Bubble Nebula
Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has astounded the public with its amazing array of images. But Hubble is about much more than just breathtaking images.?
Over several decades, the project has accumulated dozens of gigabytes of data, providing critical insights into the universe, ranging from elements as close as the moon to the most distant galaxies, with studies of supernovae and nebulae in between.?
NASA shares a stunning image of?Blue Bubble Nebula
The space agency has once again piqued people's interest with its post about the Wolf Rayet Nebula.NASA provided a stunning image of the Wolf-Rayet Nebula, characterizing it as a blue "bubble" encircling a star 30,000 light-years away.
They asserted that these nebulae, which are usually "ring-shaped" or "spherical," are formed when "speedy stellar winds" collide with the outer layers of hydrogen emitted by Wolf-Rayet stars.?
What do the experts have to say??
According to experts, this "Hubble classic view" of the nebula shows it expanding at an estimated rate of 136,700 miles (220,000 km) per hour. The star will eventually explode as a supernova, but the expelled stellar material will continue to nourish future stars and planets.?
They went on to describe the image, claiming that a dark blue ring of gas and dust surrounds a dazzling star, with four diffraction spikes blazing in the center of the image. "Other stars fill the image, all against black space."
Where is it located??
According to NASA's official blog, the Wolf-Rayet star, WR 31a, is located in the Carina constellation (The Keel).?
The bright blue bubble that appears to surround WR 31a is a Wolf-Rayet nebula, a cosmic cloud composed of dust, hydrogen, helium, and other gases.Wolf-Rayet stars typically lose half of their mass in less than 100,000 years, while starting with a mass no less than 20 times that of the Sun.
