![A dying star's remains are seen as a roughly circular region of gas, with an inner teal region and orange at the edges, all against black space dotted with stars.](https://science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/hubble_friday_07302015-jpg.webp?w=4096&format=png)
NGC 6565
A dying star’s final moments are captured in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The death throes of this star may only last mere moments on a cosmological timescale, but this star’s demise is still quite lengthy by our standards, lasting tens of thousands of years!
