The Bubble Nebula

"A Look to the Heavens"
“Blown by the wind from a massive star, this interstellar apparition has a surprisingly familiar shape. Cataloged as NGC 7635, it is also known simply as The Bubble Nebula. Although it looks delicate, the 7 light-year diameter bubble offers evidence of violent processes at work. Above and left of the Bubble's center is a hot, O-type star, several hundred thousand times more luminous and around 45 times more massive than the Sun. A fierce stellar wind and intense radiation from that star has blasted out the structure of glowing gas against denser material in a surrounding molecular cloud.
The intriguing Bubble Nebula and associated cloud complex lie a mere 7,100 light-years away toward the boastful constellation Cassiopeia. This sharp, tantalizing view of the cosmic bubble is a composite of Hubble Space Telescope image data from 2016, released to celebrate the 26th anniversary of Hubble's launch.”

Very cool Pafret~~~
Wanted to show you something captured last week when it ranged in real temps of -5 to -19...
Admittedly I did not know it at the time but learned its called an ice Halo~~
It was simply beautiful...Magnificent to see!!!A complete circle too..

I have never seen that effect before. It looks beautiful.

Mayhaps that is true but I posted mine and you only ran your mouth.

Mine was a rainbow but I was afraid it could be misinterpreted, too bad.

Mine and Linda's photos were about the beauty of God's universe. No interpretation needed.

Nebula in space is mist on the planet, horizons are never straight, and often leads to a crooked path where dream time Orion will pillage the wandering souls, it might seem prepossessing but there is always evil lurking in the mist with a bone ready to point.
