Zooming into The Jewel Bug Nebula | Hubble

Zooming into The Jewel Bug Nebula | Hubble

This video zooms into the planetary nebula NGC 7027, also known as the Jewel Bug Nebula.

The object had been slowly puffing away its mass in quiet, spherically symmetric or perhaps spiral patterns for centuries—until relatively recently when it produced a new cloverleaf pattern.

NGC 7027 is located around 3,000 light-years (920 parsecs) from Earth in the constellation Cygnus.
