NASA and Hubble Share Seasons Greetings

Posted on December 21, 2012

For the holidays, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope photographed a festive-looking planetary nebula called NGC 5189. The Hubble astronomers say the structure of the nebula "resembles a glass-blown holiday ornament with a glowing ribbon entwined." You can see a larger version of the image here.

NASA also shared this seasons greetings video. Take a look:
