Huge bubbles in the universe
At first glance the picture below you will think it is the soap bubbles that some child makes, but it is actually a newly discovered nebula in the universe.
Nebulae (nebulae) is composed of dust, hydrogen, helium and plasma gas. They may be clumps of dust gathered together by gravity (the mass is not large enough to form a star or large celestial body), or it may be the material released by the end of a throne. star. Nebulae often focus on narrow solutions, ranging from a few tens to several hundred light years (1 light year = 9.460 billion km).

An amateur astronomer spotted the nebula in the photo in early July. Most nebulae are formed from a stellar explosion often with ellipses or cigar pipes. In this case, the nebula is a round shape because it is made up of a giant cloud of gas that spits out from the two poles of a dying star from about 22,000 years ago. It is about 4,000 light-years away from the constellation Cygnus and is approximately 5 light-years across.
Experts say the new nebula has formed a long time ago but it was only recently discovered because its light was too weak. These nebulae (formed by dead stars) have a short fate. They exist only for a few thousand years - too little compared to stars' billions of years.
