Blowing Bubbles

Astronomers have captured a very special event in space: a so-called ‘reborn planetary nebula’. This is a gas bubble inside a previously blown bubble, or nebula, like you can see in this image. Most stars turn into a nebula at the end of their lives, and sometimes, like in this case, they do the same thing twice.
