Stunning Hubble Palette image of NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula. This cosmic bubble, 25 light-years across, is sculpted by winds from its central Wolf-Rayet star (WR 136). The vibrant colors represent emissions from sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen. Located in Cygnus, it's approximately 5,000 light-years away. The nebula is destined to end in a supernova.

Stunning image of the Wolf-Rayet star WR 40 and its surrounding nebula RCW 58 in the Carina constellation. The central star, a million times more luminous than our sun, ejects its outer layers at nearly 100 km/s, creating this vibrant, oval-shaped nebula. A testament to the short, brilliant lives of massive stars.
