130‑Year Study Tracks Evolution of Spirograph Nebula IC 418

130‑Year Study Tracks Evolution of Spirograph Nebula IC 418

IC 418, the Spirograph Nebula first recorded on March 26 1891, shows its central star has heated by about 3,000 °C over a century‑plus of observations. Read more: getnews.me/130-year-study-tracks-ev... #ic418 #spirographnebula

Planetary nebula IC418 appears as a cloudy oval with intricate patterns. The outer edge is reddish, and the rest of it is light purple. There is a light red central star.

It's a stellar mystery! A #planetarynebula is the cast-off outer layer of a dying star. Astronomers said late last month that they've analyzed data on planetary nebula #IC418. Its stellar core is heating up much faster than any star ever observed. 🌌🌟🔭

False-color Hubble Space Telescope image of the planetary nebula IC 418, also known as the Spirograph Nebula. This nebula is the expanding outer envelope of a dying star, revealing a complex texture possibly caused by chaotic stellar winds. The bright central point is the hot remnant core destined to become a white dwarf star. The image shows intricate details within the nebula's gaseous layers, spanning 0.3 light-years across and located approximately 2000 light-years from Earth.

A stunning false-color image of the Spirograph Nebula (IC 418) captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. This planetary nebula, located 2000 light-years away, showcases intricate patterns possibly caused by chaotic stellar winds from its central star. The image reveals the nebula's expanding outer layers and hot core, a future white dwarf star. The vibrant colors highlight the energized gas and dust, illustrating the final stages of a Sun-like star's life cycle.
