Description
The swirling, paint-like clouds in the darkness of space in this stunning image seem surreal, like a portal to another world opening up before us. In fact, the subject of this ESA/Hubble Picture of the Week is very real. We are seeing vast clouds of ionised atoms and molecules, thrown into space by a dying star. This is a planetary nebula named Kohoutek 4-55, a member of the Milky Way galaxy situated just 4600 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus (the Swan).
