Created by a young star, the bipolar star-forming region Sharpless 2-106 in this Hubble image depicts how intense the star-formation process can get.

The authors say we have a pole-on view of a bipolar nebula shaped by the presence of a second star. There are many bipolar nebulae, including well-known ones like the Butterfly Nebula. However ...

They now recognize it as a bipolar planetary nebula. And you’ll see its double nature through a 12-inch telescope. Crank the magnification up to 250x, and the two disks — the brighter one lies ...

"As enormous as this dusty pillar is, it's just one small piece of the greater Eagle Nebula." A breathtaking new image of the famous Eagle Nebula captures a towering pillar of gas and dust ...

This discovery stems from four decades of X-ray observations of the Helix Nebula, located 650 light-years from Earth. The stream of X-ray radiation remained effectively constant over at least 20 ...

ABSTRACT Bipolar, elliptical, and circular planetary nebulae appear to be possessed of differing Galactic scale heights, a feature which is usually assumed to arise from the differing distributions ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has observed a planetary nebula designated Messier 57 (also known as NGC 6720), dubbed the Ring Nebula.
