The Hubble Space Telescope captured this stunning image of what looks like a soaring, celestial snow angel. This image shows a bipolar star-forming region, called Sharpless 2-106. The outstretched „wings“ of the nebula record the contrasting imprint of heat and motion against the backdrop of a colder medium. Twin lobes of super-hot gas, glowing blue in this image, stretch outward from the central star. This hot gas creates the „wings“ of our angel. A ring of dust and gas orbiting the star acts like a belt, cinching the expanding nebula into an „hourglass“ shape.
