Do you see a blue and pink space pillow? We see a space pillow! 😴 The Hubble Space Telescope observed this planetary nebula for the first time in ultraviolet light in late 2019. Ultraviolet observations provide a new look for the expanding shells of gas created by a dying star. As the dying star sheds its outer layers, new ejections encounter older ejections. The resulting energetic collisions shape the nebula. Hubble first looked at this planetary nebula in 1998, which is approximately 3,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. #Hubble #nebula #DyingStar #ultraviolet #UV Credit: NASA, ESA, and J.

ALT-TEXT: A nebula with a pink and blue pillow-shaped structure at a 45-degree angle in the middle, surrounded by round, concentric waves of blue gas, all set on a black star-filled background. The pillow shaped structure has vein-like filaments of dark red gas and dust and a small bright star in the middle.
