After filtering out space noise and other galactic interference……

 

LSD has succeeded in bring forth a very detailed close-up image of the “A Man Of War” Nebulae

 

 

Photo taken from the ……Lunar Space Depot……LSD has been a major player in space observation

 

Details are still a bit sketchy….This Video should help………. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gxgWCHStxg

 

 

A planetary nebula is an astronomical object consisting of a glowing shell of gas and plasma formed by many stars

as they approach the end of their lives, while a nova is a cataclysmic nuclear explosion

caused by the accretion of hydrogen onto the surface of a nearly-dead white dwarf star in a close binary.

 

The star which erupted was a nova, an event caused when matter is transferred from one star in a close binary system onto its companion,

eventually triggering a runaway thermonuclear explosion. The nebula surrounding this nova is a planetary nebula,

which must have formed during an earlier phase in the binary star's existence, when the outer layers of one of the companions were expelled.

 

Only one previous nova has been seen to occur inside a planetary nebula – Nova Persei in 1901.

The opportunity to watch in detail as the nova flash interacts with the nebula is a first in astronomy.
