{"copyright":"\nDeep Sky Collective\n","date":"2024-04-30","explanation":"The star system GK Per is known to be associated with only two of the three nebulas pictured. At 1500 light years distant, Nova Persei 1901 (GK Persei) was the second closest nova yet recorded. At the very center is a white dwarf star, the surviving core of a former Sun-like star. It is surrounded by the circular Firework nebula, gas that was ejected by a thermonuclear explosion on the white dwarf's surface -- a nova -- as recorded in 1901. The red glowing gas surrounding the Firework nebula is the atmosphere that used to surround the central star. This gas was expelled before the nova and appears as a diffuse planetary nebula. The faint gray gas running across is interstellar cirrus that seems to be just passing through coincidently. In 1901, GK Per's nova became brighter than Betelgeuse. Similarly, star system T CrB is expected to erupt in a nova later this year, but we don't know exactly when nor how bright it will become.","hdurl":"https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2404/GKPerWide_DSC_4329.jpg","media_type":"image","service_version":"v1","title":"GK Per: Nova and Planetary Nebula","url":"https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2404/GKPerWide_DSC_960.jpg"} | ||
{"copyright":"Xin Long","date":"2024-05-31","explanation":"Made with narrowband filters, this cosmic snapshot covers a field of view over twice as wide as the full Moon within the boundaries of the constellation Cygnus. It highlights the bright edge of a ring-like nebula traced by the glow of ionized hydrogen and oxygen gas. Embedded in the region's expanse of interstellar clouds, the complex, glowing arcs are sections of shells of material swept up by the wind from Wolf-Rayet star WR 134, brightest star near the center of the frame. Distance estimates put WR 134 about 6,000 light-years away, making the frame over 100 light-years across. Shedding their outer envelopes in powerful stellar winds, massive Wolf-Rayet stars have burned through their nuclear fuel at a prodigious rate and end this final phase of massive star evolution in a spectacular supernova explosion. The stellar winds and final supernova enrich the interstellar material with heavy elements to be incorporated in future generations of stars.","hdurl":"https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2405/NebulousRealmofWR134_2048.png","media_type":"image","service_version":"v1","title":"The Nebulous Realm of WR 134","url":"https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/2405/NebulousRealmofWR134_1024.png"} |
