US EditionHubble Captures Light Show Around Rapidly Dying Star
- Hubble Space Telescope captured its clearest image of the Egg Nebula, known for its dense layer of gas and dust surrounding a dying star.
- Hubble Space Telescope captured a new image of the Egg Nebula, revealing clear beams of starlight emerging from its gas-and-dust shell.
- The Egg Nebula's unique structure indicates that it may contain one or more unseen companion stars affecting gas and dust flow, as noted by NASA.

Hubble's latest image unveils the Egg Nebula in unprecedented detail. This pre-planetary nebula, formed by a dying Sun-like star, shows dramatic light beams piercing dust to illuminate gas shells and hints at our own Sun's distant future.
Last gasps of dying Sun-like star captured by Hubble
One of the most important lessons we learn from studying the Universe is that none of the sources of light that we see — none of the stars, galaxies, stellar remnants, quasars, or heated matter — will continue to shine forever. After a finite amount of time, anything powered by nuclear fusion or infalling matter will run out of fuel. Anything that emits light because it’s hot will cool, and once it’s cooled enough, it won’t emit detectable light…
Hubble captures light show around rapidly dying star
This stunning image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reveals a dramatic interplay of light and shadow in the Egg Nebula, sculpted by freshly ejected stardust. Located approximately 1,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, the Egg Nebula features a central star obscured by a dense cloud of dust—like a "yolk" nestled within a dark, opaque "egg white." Only Hubble's sharpness can unveil the intricate details that hint at the processes …
