A stunning image of the Mermaid Nebula (also known as the Betta Fish Nebula), a two-sided, nearly circular supernova remnant in the Milky Way. The nebula's filamentary structure glows in shades of blue (doubly ionized oxygen) and red (hydrogen gas), resembling a mermaid's flowing tail. This image showcases the beauty and complexity of a stellar remnant formed from the death of a massive star.
