Scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope unveiled a stunning new image of a fast-burning star to celebrate the iconic observatory's 31st anniversary.
The star itself, dubbed AG Carinae, is of a class called Luminous Blue Variables and appears surrounded by a huge shell of material that the star blew into space thousands of years ago. That shell, called a nebula, is 5 light-years wide, about the distance from Earth to the nearest star beyond our sun, Alpha Centauri, according to the European Space Agency, which helps operate Hubble.
