NASA image of Dumbbell Nebula (WFC3 Image)

This NASA image of Dumbbell Nebula is enough to leave you dumbstruck as the snapshot may remind you of a balloon that has been pinched in the middle and has a colourful, mottled texture. The nebula is also known as Messier 76 or M76 and is located 3,400 light-years away in the northern circumpolar constellation Perseus. The name 'Little Dumbbell' comes from its shape, which is a two-lobed structure. The red colour is from nitrogen, and the blue is from oxygen.
