BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Hubble peers at celestial bubble: "The Hubble Space Telescope has peered inside a bubble of interstellar gas and dust that is being inflated by a hurricane of particles emitted from a young star.
This nearby star, which has no name, is losing 100 million times more mass per second than our own Sun, generating a torrent of speeding particles.
Because the star is surrounded by an envelope of gas the particle train, or stellar wind, collides with the gas.
This pushes it out forming a bubble of the type seen in the Hubble image."

As I've said all along... we belong in outer-space, not on the planet Earth.
