The nebula is located at a distance of 160 thousand light years from Earth.
The orbital Hubble telescope transmitted to Earth the images of the object L136A DEM, representing the accumulation of ionized gas.
According to scientists, that’s what remains of long-dead stars.
Experts noted that the body, the explosion which gave rise to the above-mentioned space object could be a white dwarf.
It was located at a distance of about 160 thousand light-years from Earth near the Big Magellanovo Clouds.
It is assumed that the star was absorbing the surrounding matter, and after some time released the stored energy. In the result, the outer layers of the substance DEM L136A were scattered in the vast space.
