Hubble has released an eerily beautiful image of a dying star — U Camelopardalis, or simply U Cam.

Located XXXXX light-years away, it is releasing a nearly spherical bubble of gas — the result of helium igniting inside, surrounding its shrinking core.

U Cam is a rare type of carbon star. It “coughs” every few thousand years, throwing out thin layers of gas into space. These shells grow and resemble cosmic smoke rings.

Now powerful winds are tearing away its outer layers — the star is losing almost half its mass. The star itself is barely visible in the image, but the cloud around it is a whole story: about the end, about transformation, and about a legacy among the stars.
