NGC 7635: The Bubble Nebula

Explanation:
\nWhat created this huge space bubble?<\/p>\n

Blown by the wind from a star, this
\ntantalizing<\/a>, head-like
\napparition is cataloged as NGC 7635, but known simply
\nas the Bubble Nebula<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taken from
\nKrakow<\/a>,
\nPoland<\/a>,
\nthe
\nfeatured view<\/a> utilizes a long exposure
\nto reveal the intricate details of
\nthis cosmic bubble<\/a> and its environment.<\/p>\n

Although it looks delicate, the 10
\nlight-year<\/a>
\ndiameter bubble offers evidence of
\nviolent processes<\/a> at work.<\/p>\n

Seen here right of
\nthe Bubble<\/a>‘s center, a bright
\nhot star is embedded in the nebula’s
\nreflecting<\/a> dust.<\/p>\n

A fierce
\nstellar wind<\/a>
\nand intense radiation from the
\nstar<\/a>,
\nwhich likely has a mass 10 to 20 times that of the
\nSun<\/a>,
\nhas blasted out the
\nstructure of glowing gas<\/a>
\nagainst denser material in a surrounding
\nmolecular cloud<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The intriguing
\nBubble Nebula<\/a> lies a mere 11,000
\nlight-year<\/a>s
\naway toward the
\nboastful<\/a> constellation
\nCassiopeia<\/a>.<\/p>\n
