Planetary nebula NGC 5198, HST image
Planetary nebula NGC 5198, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image. Combined optical and infrared image of the planetary nebula NGC 5198. A planetary nebula is a series of shells of gas cast off by a dying star, with these gas shells glowing as they impact the surrounding medium. NGC 5198 is 3000 light years from Earth, in the constellation of Musca. Image data obtained with the HSTs Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) instrument. Image published in 2012

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the ethereal beauty of the Planetary nebula NGC 5198, as seen through the lens of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The image showcases a mesmerizing combination of optical and infrared wavelengths, revealing intricate details within this celestial wonder. Located approximately 3000 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Musca, NGC 5198 is a testament to stellar evolution. As a dying star sheds its outer layers, it creates a series of gas shells that radiate an otherworldly glow upon colliding with their surroundings. These luminous gas shells are depicted in stunning clarity against the backdrop of interstellar space. The HST's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) instrument played a crucial role in capturing this remarkable image data, allowing scientists and astronomers to delve deeper into our expanding universe. Released in 2012 by Science Photo Library, this print serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity about the cosmos. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded not only of our place within the vastness of space but also how interconnected everything is on an astrophysical level. This planetary nebula stands as evidence that even in death, stars continue to shape and influence their cosmic surroundings.
