“The Bubble Nebula” is copyrighted by Bernard Michaud. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Bubble Nebula, NGC 7635, is an interstellar cloud shaped by the powerful winds of a massive star. This star, an O-type star, is about 45 times more massive and hundreds of thousands of times more luminous than the Sun. Its fierce stellar wind and intense radiation have carved out this ten-light-year-diameter bubble.
