Inside the bright but unassumingly named nebula Gum 55 lies a dark nebula — a rift of dust grains that absorb visible light — creating a swatch of darkness against the glow of bright gas.
The Bubble Nebula, or NGC 7635, is an emission nebula located 8,000 light-years away. This striking new image was captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to mark its 26th year in space.
This image spans an area in the sky equivalent to four full moons but is actually part of a much larger nebula called Gum 55. If you look closely, the wolf might even resemble a werewolf, its hands ...
This is thought to stretch between the LHB and the Gum nebula or between the LHB and GSH238+00+09, a more distant superbubble. They also mapped dense molecular clouds at the edge of the LHB that ...
However, there has never been any evidence that such a network exists. Scientists believe the tunnel could be acting as a connector between the LHB and another superbubble or the Gum Nebula. The ...
A photo allegedly showing the Helix Nebula and that was said to have been captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope was circulating online in late November 2024.
However, the specific location to which the Centaurus tunnel leads is unknown, it is however associated with the Gum Nebula and other molecular clouds found in the vicinity, suggesting several ...
Researchers propose that this newly found tunnel could connect the LHB with another large bubble or possibly the Gum Nebula. The northern part of the tunnel appears hotter than the southern, ...
