NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“A Wolf Rayet Star Bubble” is copyrighted by Anglo-Australian Telescope Board. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

See it on NASA's site
COSMIC MESSAGE

This bubble and arc were created by a Wolf-Rayet star, a star that began its life with over 40 times the Sun's mass. These stars expel material through strong stellar winds, forming structures like this nebula. Astronomers are still investigating how the central star created both the bubble and the arc.
