The death of a star photographed by Hubble.
August 27, 2019
The Hubble Space Telescope provided an image of a planetary nebula that had formed after the explosion of a star similar to our Sun.
The Hubble Space Telescope photographed a spectacular moment: the death of a star in the constellation Gemini, is indicated on the portal phys.org.

#HubbleFriday Patches of this scene glow brightly as the remnant star emits energetic radiation that excites the gas within these regions, it causes it to light up ✨ NGC2371 / 2 will continue to change over the next few thousand years: https: //go.nasa .gov / 2P9KbK3
Initially, astronomers believed that the image captured by the camera showed two separate objects, but then concluded that it was a planetary nebula. The latter was then named NGC 2371/2.
The nebula was formed after the explosion of a star similar to our Sun, which propelled its matter into space, from which a superheated stellar residue visible in the center of the photo.
What is the NGC 2371/2 ?
The NGC 2371/2 is filled with dense gas nodes driven in a fast and chaotic motion. The stellar residue emits radiation that shines the gas.
Researchers believe that this movement will continue for thousands of years, after which the star will begin to cool down and lose its luminosity.
