A stunning image of runaway star HD 77581, creating a bow shock as it travels through interstellar space at over 50 miles per second. The bright star at the center is saturated, showing diffraction spikes. A faint, arcing bow wave of compressed gas is visible, a result of the star's rapid movement. The image hints at the star's origin, linked to a supernova explosion and its companion X-ray pulsar, Vela X-1.

Image of runaway star HD 77581, a bright star creating a bow shock wave as it travels through interstellar space. The star is over-exposed creating a spiky cross shape in the center of the image. A faint arc of compressed gas is visible behind it. This is likely due to the supernova explosion of its companion star, Vela X-1, a pulsar.

Stunning infrared image of runaway star Zeta Ophiuchi creating a dramatic bow shock as it plows through interstellar dust and gas. The vibrant red and green colors highlight the compressed and heated material, showcasing the star's powerful stellar wind. Zeta Ophiuchi, 20 times more massive than our sun, was likely ejected from a binary system after its companion exploded as a supernova. This image spans 12 light-years.
