This newly processed image from the NASA/ESA #Hubble Space Telescope is the clearest view yet of the #EggNebula: https://esahubble.org/images/heic2604a/ - it is a #PreplanetaryNebula, a structure of gas and dust created as a Sun-like star approaches the end of its life. The Egg that we see now will eventually hatch, revealing a white dwarf at its centre and leaving its shell to become a spectacular planetary nebula.
