Planetary nebula,X-ray composite
Planetary nebula. Combined X-ray and optical image of the planetary nebula BD+30-3639. A planetary nebula is a bubble of hot gas and dust,many times the size of our solar system,expanding outwards from a dying,Sun-like star. The nebula consists of the ejected outer layers of the star. The optical part of this image (orange) was obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The hotter,X-ray emitting region (blue,centre) was imaged with the Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO). Both the HST and CXO are telescopes in Earth orbit. BD+30- 3639 is around 5000 light years from Earth,in the constellation of Cygnus
