The bright clusters and nebulae of planet Earth's night sky are often named for flowers or insects , and NGC 6302 is no exception. With an estimated surface temperature of about 250,000 degrees C, the central star of this particular planetary nebula is exceptionally hot though -- shining brightly in ultraviolet light but hidden from direct view by a dense torus of dust. ...

STScI-PRC96-03 and JPL-P-46536 HUBBLE FINDS SEARCHLIGHT BEAMS AND MULTIPLE ARCS AROUND A DYING STAR This image of the Egg Nebula, also known as CRL2688 and located roughly 3,000 light-years from us, was taken in red light with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) aboard NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. ... The central star in CRL2688 was a red giant a few hundred years ago. The nebula is really a large cloud of dust and gas ejected by the star, expanding at a speed of 20 km/s (115,000 mph). ...

One of my areas of interest in astronomy is the study of planetary nebulae (hereafter PN or PNs). The name is a historical artifact, reflecting that in the telescopes of the late 18th century these various of these objects looked round and pale green in colour similar to Uranus in appearance. ... A collection of pictures of PNs is available at Bruce Balick's Planetary Nebula Image Calalogue page . ... The very nice HST image of the Ring Nebula below is a case in point. ...

... Wispy tendrils of hot dust and gas glow brightly in this ultraviolet image of the Cygnus Loop nebula, taken by NASA s Galaxy Evolution Explorer. The nebula lies about 1,500 light-years away and is a supernova remnant, left over from a massive stellar explosion that occurred between 5,000 to 8,000 years ago. ... The filaments of gas and dust visible here in ultraviolet light were heated by the shock wave from the supernova, which is still spreading outward from the original explosion. ...

... All previous such superstars have been found along with many companion stars in the centres of crowded star clusters. The star is known as VFTS 682 from the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey catalogue of the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) located at Paranal in Chile by means of the attached FLAMES instrument. ... Although VFTS 682 seems to be alone now it is not very far away from a very rich star cluster known as RMC 136 that contains several similar superstars. ...
