The beauty of a dying star ✨ The Hubble telescope reveals a rainbow of colours in this dying star, IC 4406, also called the Retina Nebula. 🌈 Like many other so-called planetary nebulae, IC 4406 exhibits a high degree of symmetry. The nebula's left and right halves are nearly mirror images of the other. 👉https://lnkd.in/d6QV_wA Credits: NASA/ESA and The Hubble Heritage Team STScI/AURA ESA Hubble and Webb Space Telescopes Space Telescope Science Institute NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
