NGC 7635 - The Bubble Nebula
	Here is the file: n09f-n-bubble-9831wTN.jpg Courtesy of NASA at http://www.nasa.gov NGC 7635, the Bubble Nebula, is 10 light-years across, more than twice the distance from the Earth to the nearest star. The nebula is made up of an expanding shell of glowing gas surrounding a hot, massive star in our Milky Way galaxy. This shell is being shaped by strong stellar winds of materials and radiation produced by the bright star at the left, which is 10 to 20 times more massive than our Sun. These fierce winds are sculpting the surrounding material, composed of gas and dust, into the curve-shaped bubble. *Image: NASA*

This Lovely Nebula is Known as the Blinking Eye Nebula
*Image: B. Balick, J. Alexander* *(University of Washington) and NASA*	Here is the file: n09i-n-blinkingeye-97_72TN.jpg Courtesy of NASA at http://www.nasa.gov The colorful planetary nebula phase of a sun-like star's life is brief. Almost in the "blink of an eye" - cosmically speaking - the star's outer layers are cast off, forming an expanding emission nebula. This nebula lasts perhaps 10 thousand years compared to a 10 billion-year stellar life-span. The lovely nebula NGC 6826, also known as the Blinking Eye Nebula, has mysterious red "fliers" seen on either side of the Hubble Space Telescope image. Are they also expanding outward from the central star? If so, their "bow shocks" point in the wrong direction!
Spiral Galaxy NGC 7742 Probably Powered by a Black Hole
	Here is the file: n09j-n-galaxy-NGC7742TN.jpg Courtesy of NASA at http://www.nasa.gov Spiral galaxy NGC 7742 is not a run_of_the_mill spiral galaxy. It is known to be a Seyfert 2 active galaxy, a type of galaxy that is probably powered by a black hole residing in its core. *Image: NASA*
