The Bubble Nebula, also known as NGC 7635



  • The Bubble Nebula, also known as NGC 7635, is an emission nebula located 8,000 light years
  •  away in the Cassiopeia constellation. The bubble is created by stellar wind pushing out from 
  • a massive hot central star, visible here just left of the center of the image, a purple star
  •  partly obscured by blue gas clouds. The nebula is seven light years across—about one-and-a-half
  •  times the distance from our sun to its nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri. This stunning 
  • image was observed by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to celebrate its 26th year in space
