This nebula began forming about 10,000 years ago when a dying star began flinging material into space. When Sun-like stars exhaust their nuclear fuel, they become unstable and expand as they blast their outer layers of gas away into space (bad news for any planets in the area). Hubble’s image of Caldwell 39 shows a snapshot of the unworldly process, captured with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 just a couple weeks after the successful Hubble servicing mission of December 1999.
Streams of high-energy ultraviolet radiation cause the expelled material to glow, creating a beautiful planetary nebula — a term chosen for the similarity in appearance to the round disk of a planet when viewed through a small telescope, not because of any actual relation to planets. The nebula’s glowing gases produce the colors in this image: nitrogen (red), hydrogen (green), oxygen (blue), and helium (violet).
Caldwell 39's outer disk of material is embellished by a ring of comet-shaped objects with their tails streaming away from the central, dying star. In the central region of the nebula is a bubble of material that is being blown outward by the star’s intense “wind” of high-speed material. Hubble’s observations provided clues about how the strange structures in the nebula formed and evolve, though scientists are still puzzled about the origin of the comet-shaped features. It seems they may form from a collision of slow- and fast-moving gases. Hubble also helped scientists determine the nebula’s distance and the mass of the star that lurks in its center.
Discovered in 1787 by famed astronomer William Herschel, Caldwell 39 (also known as NGC 2392) is about 5,000 light-years away in the Gemini constellation. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is best viewed in the late winter through a large telescope. (In the Southern Hemisphere, look for it in the late summer.) With a magnitude of 9.2, the nebula can be found with a smaller telescope — but you’re unlikely to see much of the detail in the center. The nebula exhibits a blinking effect similar to that of Caldwell 15 (the “Blinking Planetary”). When looking directly at the central star, the surrounding nebulosity fades; but as one looks away from the center, the nebula pops back into view.
