Hubble Spots a Celestial Bauble

ScienceDaily (Dec. 15, 2010) — Hubble has spotted a festive bauble of gas in our neighbouring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud. Formed in the aftermath of a supernova explosion that took place four centuries ago, this sphere of gas has been snapped in a series of observations made between 2006 and 2010.

What a world eh? I feel so lucky to get to see images like this from the HST.

Re: Celestial magic

IT'S.. It's.........a Hubble Bubble

I went to the linked site but could not find out if the red lines were put there by the astronomers to mark the area more precisely or if the red lines are actually there..
I assume with so many other nebulae now visible that the red lines are actually there and wow!
Allahu Akbar!
