NGC 2392

My interpretation of Hubble Space Telescope data on NGC 2392. It combines UV with visible light.

This planetary nebula is about 6500 light-years away and consists of gases ejected by the O-type star in its center. When comparing this image from 2006/2007 with a previous image from 1999 (see e.g., Wikipedia), one can see slight changes in the filaments of the nebula as it expands.

This stunning cosmic pairing of the two very different looking spiral #galaxies #NGC4302 and #NGC4298 was imaged by the NASA/ESA +Hubble Space Telescope. The image brilliantly captures their warm stellar glow and brown, mottled patterns of dust. As a perfect demonstration of Hubble's capabilities, this spectacular view has been released as part of the telescope's 27th anniversary celebrations.
