NASA Hubble Telescope captures snow angel

Captured by NASA's Hubble Telescope, the picture of the Sharpless 2-106 Nebula, a star-forming region resembling a 'celestial snow angel soaring in space,' was shared.

"Twin lobes of hot gas create the 'wings' that stretch outward from the central star against the backdrop of a cold medium. A ring of dust acting as a belt is cinching the nebula into an 'hourglass' shape," NASA wrote while sharing the picture.

A detailed description of the picture was added by NASA, stating, "At the centre of the image, two bipolar light-blue lobes of hot gas. Dusky red veins surround the blue emission from the nebula.

In the middle of the lobes surrounded with red dust is a young star known as IRS-4. The faint light emanating from the central star reflects off tiny dust particles. Red dust and bright stars surround the nebula in the background of the darkness of space."
