COSMIC MESSAGE

A massive star, BD+602522, is blowing a bubble in space. This is the Bubble Nebula, NGC 7635. It's the smallest of three bubbles around the star, all part of a larger network called S162. The star's fast stellar wind pushes gas into a shell, and its energetic light makes that shell glow.
