## Caption

A cosmic wreath of sparkling lights. ✨⁣
⁣
This NASAHubble image shows a glittering star 10 times more massive than our Sun, located 6,500 light-years away. Bright southern hemisphere star RS Puppis is swaddled in a gossamer cocoon of reflective dust.⁣
⁣
Image description: A very bright star at the center of the image illuminates a large surrounding cloud of gas and dust. Bright light from the star appears to radiate in a horizontal line and vertical line across the image. In the background many more stars and cosmic objects are visible against the blackness of deep space.⁣
