HST Still Has What it Takes!

The Crescent Nebula in extremely high resolution, as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope.
The recently-launched JWST may have stolen Hubble's thunder, but the 32 year old HST clearly shows in this stunning image that it can still do cutting-edge astronomy. 😎👍👍🔭
Interestingly, this nebula was created by a star that is still alive. It is the result of fast stellar wind impacting slower stellar wind the star expelled out in its past. This results in a gas-ionising shockwave that produces this beautiful structure we see today.
The Crescent Nebula is 5,000 light years distant in the direction of the constellation Cygnus.
