Astronomical Observatory captures image of Thor's Helmet Nebula, 15,000 light-years away, featuring a central red star in pre-supernova stage.
The Al Khatem Astronomical Observatory in Abu Dhabi has captured an image of the "Thor's Helmet" Nebula, located 15,000 light-years from Earth.
This nebula, primarily composed of hydrogen and oxygen, features a central red star that is 280,000 times brighter than the sun and is in the pre-supernova stage.
Its distinctive helmet shape arises from stellar winds interacting with surrounding gases.
The nebula is estimated to be between 80,000 to 240,000 years old.
