MUNICH, Germany, April 10 (UPI) -- European astronomers have released an image of a star 3,300 light-years from Earth seen putting on a show of color and light as it dies.
The image, taken by the Very Large Telescope of the European Southern Observatory's facility in Chile, shows a glowing green cloud of gas called a planetary nebula, a part of the end of the life cycle of all stars the size of the sun or larger, the astronomers said.
