Sharpless 2-106, a nebula located 2,000 light-years away in the Milky Way, showcases the chaotic beauty created by a massive young star's energy and activity.
The twin lobes of super-hot gas extend from the central star, creating a striking visual, while a ring of dust and gas contributes to the nebula's hourglass shape.
Hubble captured this stunning image in 2011, allowing us to glimpse the furious activity within the nebula, a region rich in stellar formation.
