Description

This bubble of expanding gas is the Headphone Nebula (PK 164 + 31.1), the remnants of the atmosphere of a sun-like star expelled as its supply of fusion-able core hydrogen became depleted. Over the next few thousand years the nebula will fade away, but the central white dwarf may survive for billions of years.
