Hubble Telescope Uncovers Potential Stellar Cannibalism in Little Dumbbell Nebula
New images from the Hubble Space Telescope's 34th anniversary reveal possible evidence of a star consuming its companion in the Little Dumbbell Nebula.
- The Hubble Space Telescope captured a new image of the Little Dumbbell Nebula, indicating potential stellar cannibalism.
- This finding coincides with the 34th anniversary of Hubble's launch, highlighting its ongoing contribution to astronomy.
- Astronomers are investigating if the nebula's unique structure was shaped by a now-absent companion star.
- The central star, now a white dwarf, is one of the hottest known, significantly hotter than our sun.
- Hubble's new insights into the nebula could provide 'forensic evidence' of the cosmic event.
