Picture- Sep 2nd 2010
The Bubble Nebula
I picked this picture because I have never seen anything like this in space before! It looks very mystical- It has a majestic aura especially accentuated by the blue circle that surrounds the bubble and is within the re-toned sky and pink looking stars. Above and to the right of the bubble's center is an O-Type star which is several hundred times more luminous 45 times more massive then the Sun. Call me ignorant but before I saw this picture I had no idea there was any celestial object in Space brighter than the Sun! The Bubble Nebula lies 11,000 light years away.
