## Caption

Often, we like to end the week by posting imagery from the cosmos that draws us into our imaginations.... this is one such image. ✨⁣
⁣
The Bubble Nebula, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, is 7 light-years across – about one-and-a-half times the distance from our sun to its nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri – and resides 7,100 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia. The star is about 4 million years old, and in 10 million to 20 million years, it will likely detonate as a supernova.⁣
