Panning across the Twin Jet Nebula

Référence de la vidéo 11944801
Twin Jet Nebula. Footage panning across the Twin Jet Nebula, a bipolar planetary nebula (planetary nebula M2-9). The nebula comprises a binary system of two stars, with shells of gas cast off from the larger central star nearing the end of its life. The highly directional flow of gas has led to it being nicknamed the Twin Jet nebula, or the Wings of a Butterfly nebula. It is thought that the shape is due to the motion of the two central stars around each other. Planetary nebulae form when a Sun-like star runs out of fuel near the end of its life. The core contracts and heats up and the outer layers are cast off into space. Radiation from the exposed core ionises the gas shells, causing them to emit light. The imagery was created with data from the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 and Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS).
