Space scientists have shown off an incredible image of a “space egg.”
NASA said Tuesday the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a dramatic interplay of light and shadow in what’s called the Egg Nebula.
Located approximately 1,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, the space agency said the cosmic spectacle is so named as it features a central star obscured by a dense cloud of dust, “like a ‘yolk’ nestled within a dark, opaque ‘egg white’.”
NASA commented: “An egg-cellent new view from Hubble is here! This is the clearest image yet of the Egg Nebula, showing a light show around a rapidly dying star.
