Cosmic Coquette :

⁣@NASAHubble captures a bow-shaped nebula in this stunning view about 4,000 light-years from Earth. Crafted from the material casted off from the dying Sun-like star as it enters its white-dwarf phase of evolution. Dense ridges of material are swept back from the nebula’s central star creating the bow shape. ⁣

⁣

Not just trendy -- this star is one of the hottest as well, with a surface temperature of about 200,000 kelvin. The nebula spans more than a light-year wide and is energized by ultraviolet light from the central star. ⁣
