NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of the Boomerang Nebula. According to the space agency, nearly one and a half times the mass of our sun is lost by the central star of the Boomerang Nebula in an ejection process called bipolar outflow. The nebula received the name because of its asymmetric shape. Hubble’s sharp view is able to resolve patterns and ripples in the nebula very close to the central star that are not visible from the ground.
