COSMIC MESSAGE

This dolphin-shaped bubble, Sh2-308, was created by a Wolf-Rayet star at its center. These massive stars, over 20 times the Sun's mass, expel fast particle winds that sculpt nebulae. This particular bubble spans over 60 light-years and is about 70,000 years old, located in the constellation Canis Major.
