NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured this striking image of a dying star called the Egg Nebula. About 5000 years ago the star began periodically ejecting shells of gas and dust. Over the last 400 years, twin lobes of material have burst forth. The central star is hidden behind a dense, dusty disk. The dust disk and bipolar lobes block the light from the star, creating a searchlight effect. These features can be explored in depth within Hubble's new Egg Nebula image.
