The Red Spider Nebula is a planetary nebula located near the heart of the Milky Way, in the northwest of the constellation Sagittarius.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured this stunning image of Red-Spider Nebula which is 3000 light years away from the Earth.
The vibrant hues in the Red Spider Nebula is created by the interaction of intense radiation with surrounding gas and dust,
This warm planetary nebula harbors one of the hottest stars known and its powerful stellar winds generate waves 100 billion kilometers (62.4 billion miles) high.
The waves are caused by supersonic shocks, formed when the local gas is compressed and heated in front of the rapidly expanding lobes.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, launched in 1990, is known for its significant contribution and research. It has influenced the understanding of cosmos since its launch.
