The star WR 31a and the bubble nebula surrounding it photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope
The Hubble Space Telescope took a picture of the star WR 31a, which has the characteristic of being surrounded by a bubble nebula. It’s estimated to have been created about 20,000 years ago by the impact of the strong stellar winds emitted by WR 31a and materials, especially hydrogen, ejected from it in the earlier stages of its life.
