This colorful image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, celebrates the Earth-orbiting observatory’s 28th anniversary of viewing the heavens, giving us a window seat to the universe’s extraordinary stellar tapestry of birth and destruction. At the center of this image is a monster young star 200,000 times brighter than our Sun that is blasting powerful ultraviolet radiation and hurricane-like stellar winds, carving out a fantasy landscape of ridges, cavities, and mountains of gas and dust. The image shows a region of the nebula measuring about 4 light-years across. Happy #spaceSaturday folks! Credit: NASA, ESA, and STScI #nasa #hubble #universe #weareplanetary #nebula
