Hubble has captured its clearest view yet of the Egg Nebula — a stunning cosmic light show created by a rapidly dying Sun-like star 🌌

Hubble’s sharpest-ever view of the Egg Nebula reveals twin beams and glowing dust arcs from a rapidly dying star 1,000 light-years away.

Located 1,000 light-years away, this rare pre-planetary nebula reveals twin beams, glowing arcs, and freshly ejected stardust that may one day form new solar systems.

This is not just the end of a star — it’s the beginning of future worlds.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has delivered the clearest view yet of the Egg Nebula, capturing a dramatic cosmic light show around a rapidly dying star.

Located about 1,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, the Egg Nebula—also known as the Cygnus Egg—is considered the first, youngest, and closest pre-planetary nebula ever discovered, according to Hubble astronomers and NASA.

Spanning roughly 0.4 light-years across, the nebula contains a central star hidden behind a dense cloud of dust, resembling a glowing yolk wrapped inside a dark cosmic shell.

Only Hubble’s extraordinary resolution can reveal the intricate interplay of light and shadow sculpted by freshly expelled stardust.
