This effect happens when an old star with similar size as the sun grows old and removes layers of gas off itself

The ngc 2022 (the star pictured) is a red giant which is a step of evolution after a sun like star

The yellow orange is the stars core the surrounding clouds of gas is pink and purple





Do you think this star could of been a "sun" for another planet?




How much longer do we think this dying star has left?
So when the sun dies out many planets will die too..do you think that when this star dies out other planet will go out with it?

    I think this dying star has a couple more hundred years left. -kaylyn

    I don't know if it would be a sun for another planet because I don't know enough about suns yet. I also don't know about the star death cycle. I think it is a cool picture though! - Grace Briggs

    I think the star had some planets that used to orbit it. - Riki Tanaka

    This may of possibly been a sun for another planet because it was a red giant, so it was pretty powerful and I doubt it was just out there by itself -Andrew

    I think think this is a dying star that has maybe a few thousands year left before it completey explodes. grecia

    Astronomers call these objects planetary nebulas because in the first low-power telescopes of the 1600s and 1700s, they looked a bit like planets. - Shannon Easley

    It would've been cool to if there was a possible solar system around this start before it started to die. It could have been possible that one of those planets had life-Haleigh Madi

    My hot topic is similar because I talk about exploding stars. -Darren Madison

    I have no idea how long it has before it goes out and personally I'm not too confident with the subject entirely because thinking about everything around us potentially dying really scares me - Nathaniel Hamilton

    I think this could have been a sun and had other planets orbiting around it at some point. -Kamilah Gamble

      I agree, with you it also looks really cool.

    I do think that this is a cool example of how our universe develops and eventually dies. I think research like this is fundamental to knowing how and why we exist.

    It's possible that this dying star was once the center of another solar system -Sawyer L
