The American space agency NASA often shares satellite images of the Universe on its social media accounts. These images are sometimes very beautiful and sometimes extremely scary. The latest image is also something like this.
NASA has shared amazing pictures of the Red Spider Nebula in the Universe on its social media page. This planetary nebula, formally known as NGC 6537. It is about 3,000 light years away from Earth. This nebula is interesting because it seems to have a two-lobed structure formed by the influence of a companion star or magnetic field.
The lobes have an S-shaped pattern, and their outer surfaces are rough and wavy rather than flat. NASA wrote in the caption of the picture – ‘In this picture of a planetary nebula, orange waves of hot gas, similar to the curved legs of a black widow spider, surround a pink glowing core. At the same time, the background can be seen with white points of light.’
About the Red Spider Nebula, the space agency said that the nebula is home to one of the hottest stars. The pressure moves the gas around it and creates shock waves 100 billion km high. In this picture, these waves look like spider legs, while the star in the center looks like a black widow spider.
This picture has been viewed more than 6 lakh times on Instagram. People are also commenting a lot on it. One user said, ‘It seems as if something has gone wrong in heaven.’ Another user said, ‘The best post ever.’ Another user said – The universe is as beautiful as the world.
