Hubble Space Telescope Celebrates 34 Years with Portrait of the Little Dumbbell Nebula

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured new images of celestial bodies, showcasing its enduring capabilities. One image features a dying star's glowing gas, potentially including evidence of stellar cannibalism where the star consumed another before collapsing. This image was released to commemorate the 34th anniversary of the telescope's launch on April 24, 1990. Another image presents a vivid glimpse into the complexities of the Little Dumbbell Nebula, a planetary nebula.
