The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 [1] magnitude young central star, SAO 20575 (BD+60°2522). [7] The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow. [7] It was discovered in November 1787 by William ...

The image of the Horsehead Nebula captures the iconic nebula in a whole new light. NASA releases 'unprecedented' Horsehead Nebula image captured by James Webb Space Telescope. What to know about ...
The Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635), imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope, is seven light years across. A stellar-wind bubble is a cavity light-years across filled with hot gas blown into the interstellar medium by the high-velocity (several thousand km/s) stellar wind from a single massive star of type O or B.
NASA’s Webb Space Telescope has revealed the sharpest images yet of a portion of a horse-shaped nebula, showing the “mane” in finer detail. The Horsehead Nebula, in the constellation Orion ...
The nebula was formed about 70,000 years ago by the star EZ Canis Majoris throwing off its outer hydrogen layers, revealing inner layers of heavier elements. [2] Fast stellar winds, blowing at 1,700 km/s (3.8 million mph) from this star, create the bubble-shaped nebula as they sweep up slower moving material from an earlier phase of the star's evolution.
