The Bubble Nebula is the result of hot gas which is escaping into space from a star 45 times more massive than our Sun.
Hubble captured this balloon-like sphere of gas being blown into space by a super-hot, massive star. The bubble is 7 light-years across, which is one-and-a-half times greater than the distance from the Sun to our nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri. The Bubble Nebula lies in the constellation Cassiopeia, approximately 7,100 light-years from Earth.
