Oh no you didn't cut off that nebula and create a terrible tangent at the edge of the composition. ...Yep, you did. Oh, Hubble. Composition aside, NGC 2440 is a lovely nebula.

Summary

Description
English: Oh no you didn't cut off that nebula and create a terrible tangent at the edge of the composition. ...Yep, you did. Oh, Hubble.

Composition aside, NGC 2440 is a lovely nebula. Cloudy tendrils seem to reach vainly toward their progenitor but they are destined to be blown away and eventually dissipate into the vacuum of space; such a fleeting vision. Maybe one day the matter shed from this star will find its way into another star, planet or some living being. No one can say for sure.
