Hubble has beamed home a stunning shot of the Little Dumbbell Nebula.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captures stunning planetary nebulae — colourful cosmic clouds formed by dying stars, showcasing the universe’s beauty in vibrant, swirling detail.

This is a planetary nebula named Kohoutek 4-55, a member of the Milky Way galaxy situated just 4,600 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus (the Swan).

Nebula are giant clouds of interstellar gas that play a key role in the life-cycle of stars.
