This Bipolar Nebula Is Absolutely Awesome

The Hubble Space Telescope shows off some amazing footage.  And these jets of gas coming from it are traveling at extremely fast speeds!

The glowing and expanding shells of gas clearly visible in this image represent the final stages of life for an old star of low to intermediate mass. The star has not only ejected its outer layers, but the exposed remnant core is now illuminating these layers — resulting in a spectacular light show like the one seen here.

Let’s check out this incredible nebula in the video on page 2
