NGC 7027 Wall Art including Frame Sizes:MEDIUM (20x30) Dense pillars of cool hydrogenRecently, NGC 7027's central star was identified in a new wavelength of light near ultraviolet for the first time by using Hubble's unique capabilities. The near ultraviolet observations will help reveal how much dust obscures the star and how hot the star really is. This object, which resembles a colorful jewel bug, is a visibly diffuse region of gas and dust that may be the result of ejections by closely orbiting binary stars that were first slowly
