DESCRIPTION

We have made this stunning hubble picture that resembles a butterfly into a gorgeous tile mural. This piece of interstellar art is made up of (6) 6x6" satin finished tiles that is framed in a mahogany stained oak frame.


For the 26th birthday of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers are highlighting a Hubble image of an enormous bubble being blown into space by a super-hot, massive star. The Hubble image of the Bubble Nebula, or NGC 7635, was chosen to mark the 26th anniversary of the launch of Hubble into Earth orbit by the STS-31 space shuttle crew on April 24, 1990.


The Bubble Nebula is 7 light-years across - about one-and-a-half times the distance from our sun to its nearest stellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri - and resides 7,100 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia.


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.
