Hubble Marks 34th Anniversary with Stunning Image of Little Dumbbell Nebula

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures a detailed image of the Little Dumbbell Nebula, showcasing the dynamic processes of a dying star.

The Little Dumbbell Nebula, also known as M76, is located 3,400 light-years away in the constellation Perseus and is a popular target for astronomers.
This planetary nebula is formed from the ejected material of a red giant star, which is now collapsing into a white dwarf.
The nebula features a unique two-lobed structure, glowing due to ultraviolet radiation from the central hot white dwarf.
Hubble's latest image marks over three decades of contributions to astronomy, with 1.6 million observations and numerous groundbreaking discoveries.
The telescope continues to work in synergy with the James Webb Space Telescope, expanding research capabilities across multiple wavelengths.
