The gas cloud was formed over 3.5 million years ago.
Space telescope NASA Hubble captures image of galaxy NGC 681.
For turquoise and pink shades, the scientists gave her the name of Little Gem.
This gas cloud was formed about 3500 years ago, when the star peaked, she threw away their outer layers of dust in space.
The Central star has a weak-star companion, which amounts to 150 astronomical units. This value is five times greater than that of the Sun and Neptune. This can be seen even on the photo. In the center of the gas clouds located white spots of irregular shape. In fact these are two points located very close to each other.
For the first time, NGC 6818 was depicted on the space telescope “Hubble” in 1997, then again in 1998 and 2000.
