Description

Bubble nebula is expanding shell of glowing gas surrounding a hot, massive star in our Milky Way Galaxy, the shell of which is being shaped by strong stellar winds of material and radiation produced by the bright star at the left, which is 10 to 20 times more massive than our sun.

These fierce winds are sculpting the surrounding material - composed of gas and dust - into the curved shape that astronomers have dubbed it the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635). The nebula is 10 light-years across, more than twice the distance from Earth to the nearest star.

LSHO with Ha as Luminance. This time managed to get stars with more real color.
