The Bubble Nebula ✨️

What created this huge space bubble? Blown by the wind from a star, this tantalizing, head-like apparition is cataloged as NGC 7635, but known simply as the Bubble Nebula. This striking view utilizes a long exposure to reveal the intricate details of this cosmic bubble and its environment. Although... read more

STEVE: A Glowing River over France

Sometimes a river of hot gas flows over your head. In this case the river created a Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (STEVE) that glowed bright red, white, and pink. Details of how STEVEs work remain a topic of research, but recent evidence holds that their glow results from a... read more
