Show Notes
In today's image, we see two nebulae in the constellation of Cygnus. The Bubble Nebula, which is a planetary nebula showing us the future of our own Sun when it reaches the end of its life. The Crescent Nebula is surrounding a Wolf-Rayet star - the type of star that will end its life in a massive supernova explosion.
