The wings of the Twin Jet Nebula are the remnants of a dying star at the nebula’s centre, flung off by jets of gas.  The nebula is 2,100 light-years from Earth, and a white dwarf star orbits the dying star.

Remnants from a star that exploded thousands of years ago created a celestial abstract portrait, as captured in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image of the Pencil Nebula.
