NASA's Hubble captured the Calabash Nebula, showing a dying star ejecting gas at nearly 600,000 miles per hour. The nebula is twisted with two dense lobes. The yellow-orange streams of material are seen shooting outward while blue shockwaves appear where fast-moving gas collides with surrounding gas. These details show how stars shed their outer layers near their life's end.
