Bubble Nebula - NGC 7635 Enceladus

Bubble Nebula - NGC 7635 EnceladusThe Bubble Nebula is the result of hot gas which is escaping into space from a star 45 times more massive than our Sun. Hubble captured this balloon like sphere of gas being blown into space by a super hot, massive star. The bubble is 7 light years across, which is one and a half times greater than the distance from the Sun to our nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri. The Bubble Nebula lies in the constellation Cassiopeia, approximately 7,100
