NASA shared a comparison between two images showing a blast of dust and the explosion of a gas shell that are the last stages of the ‘beast’ star’s life.
In celebration of the 31st anniversary of the launch of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers pointed to the famous observatory “star of glory,” one of the brightest stars seen in our galaxy, surrounded by a bright light of gas and dust, NASA said on April 23 this year.
With these ideas, NASA’s Hubble Space telescope recognized the nature of star AG Carinae. The new concept, NASA explained, was the result of a telescope vision of a star in 2020 and 2014.
The first image shows the release of hydrogen and nitrogen ionized from the growing red nebula shell (star birth component) and the second blue image shows a dust distribution that may appear to be illuminated by starlight.

According to astronomers, the powerful winds of the constellations that produced the star formed and formed dust bubbles. The nebula is about 5 light-years across, similar to the distance from Earth to the next nearest star from Earth behind the Sun, Proxima Centauri.
AG Carinae points out that the evergreen blue stars are losing weight in the final stages of their lives. The star here, could be seen as a source of tension between gravity and radiation, to avoid self-harm, explains NASA.
The star’s property is overcome by gravity and falls inside. It heats up and is violently released from its star environment and this continues until sufficient weight is lost and the star reaches a stable state.
