Zeta Oph: Runaway Star

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Zeta Ophiuchi is a runaway star, 20 times more massive than the Sun, plowing through space at 24 kilometers per second. This stunning infrared portrait shows the bow shock it creates, like a ship's wake. Its strong stellar wind compresses and heats the surrounding interstellar material, shaping the curved shock front.
