2026 February 25 - The Egg Nebula from the Hubble Space Telescope
In today's image, we see the Egg Nebula. This nebula shows what happens when a star like the Sun ends its life. The "yolk" (core) is hidden by dust, and the "white" (shells) surround this region and are the outer layers of the star being expelled out into space.
