Hubble Reopens Eye on the Universe
In its first glimpse of the heavens following the successful December 1999 servicing mission, NASAs Hubble Space Telescope captured a majestic view of a planetary nebula, the glowing remains of a dying, Sun-like star. This stellar relic, first spied by William Herschel in 1787, is nicknamed the " Eskimo" Nebula (NGC 2392) because, when viewed through ground-based telescopes, it resembles a face surrounded by a fur parka. In this Hubble telescope image, the " parka" is really a disk of material embellished with a ring of comet-shaped objects, with their tails streaming away from the central, dying star. The Eskimos " face" also contains some fascinating details. Although this bright central region resembles a ball of twine, it is, in reality, a bubble of material being blown into space by the central stars intense " wind" of high-speed material. In this photo, one bubble lies in front of the other, obscuring part of the second lobe. Scientists believe that a ring of dense material around the stars equator, ejected during its red giant phase, created the nebulas shape. The bubbles are not smooth like balloons but have filaments of denser matter. Each bubble is about 1 light-year long and about half a light-year wide. Scientists are still puzzled about the origin of the comet-shaped features in the " parka." One possible explanation is that these objects formed from a collision of slow-and fast-moving gases. The Eskimo Nebula is about 5, 000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Gemini. The picture was taken Jan. 10 and 11, 2000, with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. The nebulas glowing gases produce the colors in this image: nitrogen (red), hydrogen (green), oxygen (blue), and helium (violet)

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking photo print, the Hubble Space Telescope unveils a mesmerizing view of the universe. Following its successful servicing mission in December 1999, Hubble captures the ethereal beauty of a planetary nebula known as the "Eskimo". Nebula (NGC 2392). This celestial wonder, first observed by William Herschel in 1787, earned its nickname due to its resemblance to a face surrounded by a fur parka when viewed through ground-based telescopes. The image reveals intricate details within the Eskimo's visage. A disk of material adorned with comet-shaped objects encircles the dying star at its center, their tails streaming away like cosmic brushstrokes. The central region appears like an intricately woven ball of twine but is actually a bubble formed from high-speed material expelled by the star's intense wind. Two bubbles are visible in this photograph; however, one partially obscures the other. Scientists theorize that during its red giant phase, dense material ejected from the star's equator shaped these nebular structures. The bubbles themselves are not smooth but contain filaments of denser matter. One enigmatic aspect remains: what caused the formation of comet-shaped features within the Eskimo's parka? One possibility is that they emerged from collisions between slow and fast-moving gases. Located approximately 5,000 light-years away in Gemini constellation, this awe-inspiring image was captured on January 10 and 11,2000 using Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. The vibrant colors present in this photograph originate from different elements: nitrogen (red), hydrogen (green), oxygen (blue), and helium (violet).
