Hubble Celestial Spiral Star LL Pegasi
NASA / ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope captures an unusual celestial spiral near star LL Pegasi. Astronomers consider this one of the most perfect geometrical forms in our known universe, caused by the formation of an unusual nebula as a star begins to die and cast off its outer layers of material.

What might surprise you is that the material forming this spiral actually moves outward at a speed of about 31,000 miles per hour. What you’re looking at above is basically a bright white foreground star with diffraction spikes shining near the center-right, while to its left, we see a faint blue spiral. If you look even closer, there are distant stars and galaxies dotted against the black background of space.
