[QUOTE="Slo_Ride, post: 8702948, member: 563830"] 4 million miles per hour bro! #Hubble30 (2016) The Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of an enormous bubble being blown into space by a super-hot, massive star. The Bubble Nebula, or NGC 7635, is 7 light-years across — about one-and-a-half times the distance from our Sun to its nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri. The seething star forming this nebula is 45 times more massive than our Sun. Gas on the star gets so hot that it escapes away into space as a "stellar wind" moving at over 4 million miles per hour. This outflow sweeps up the cold, interstellar gas in front of it, forming the outer edge of the bubble much like a snowplow piles up snow in front of it as it moves forward. As the surface of the bubble's shell expands outward, it slams into dense regions of cold gas on one side of the bubble. This asymmetry makes the star appear dramatically off-center from the bubble, with its location in the 10 o'clock position in the Hubble view. Dense pillars of cool hydrogen gas laced with dust appear at the upper left of the picture, and more "fingers" can be seen nearly face-on, behind the translucent bubble. This Hubble image of the Bubble Nebula was chosen to mark the 26th anniversary of the launch of Hubble into orbit on April 24, 1990.
