Celebrating Hubble With NGC 6751
NGC 6751 is a planetary nebula, the glowing remnants of a star much like our Sun. As the star died, it shed its outer layers, creating this complex and colorful shell of gas. The Hubble Space Telescope reveals intricate details in the nebula, located about 6,500 light years away in the constellation Aquila.
