As a result, there was initially no explanation for the strange jet discovered in 1918 emerging from the center of this "nebula."

As astronomers scanned the night sky with larger telescopes, they were intrigued by fuzzy patches of light called nebulae.

The image was created by taking lots of pictures of the nebula and combining them into one.

Kane described his inspiration behind the collection, which utilized the motif of a nebula seen from the Hubble telescope, as “the idea of explosive outwards expansion,” Vogue reported back then.

Looking like a glittering cosmic geode, a trio of dazzling stars blaze from the hollowed-out cavity of a reflection nebula in this new image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
