The fiery skull-shaped nebula passes through the galaxy

The image of the Sh2-68 nebula is like a giant skull screaming with fiery hair flying through the galaxy has entered astronomers' lenses.

Dr. Travis A Rector of Alaska Anchorage University (USA) is the one who captured this striking image while driving the 4m telescope Mayall at Kitt Peak National Astronomical Observatory, Arizona, USA.

This nebula image reminds many of Johnny Blaze in Ghost Rider, with a fierce, fiery skull.

According to astronomers, the nebula is about 45,000 years old and is traveling through the Milky Way.

The reason why the Sh2-68 nebula has an interesting shape is due to the strong wind colliding with the star fragments (the Sh2-68 nebula is formed when a star is bigger than the sun dying and solving the energy discharge).

The skull-like image is made up of oxygen atoms and the dark blue center is stars. And the image is like flaming hair created by the movement of the nebula and hydrogen gas blown out of the star.
