=__Strange Dying Star__= ======

__Summary__
An image from WISE shows what looks like a glowing jellyfish floating at the bottom of a dark sea. That object is a dying star surrounded by fluorescing gas and two very unuasual rings. The star, is known as NGC 1514 and is sometimes called the "Crystal Ball" nebula, belongs to a class of objects called planetary nebulae, which form when dying stars throw off their outer layer of material.

__Thoughts and opinions__
I really like the close-up picture (right), it's appearence is really cool. It kind of looks like a planet made entirely of water, inside a can-like thing (right). The left view looks like planet Earth. I wonder why this star is dying.
