The picture seen below is from the improved hubble telescope. A tool called a Wide Field Camera 3(WFC3), has taken these new pictures of Dying Stars, Star Clusters, the Stephens Quintet, a Star Filled Pillar, and 4 other pictures showing examples of gravitational Lensing, proposed by Albert Einstein, in which the gravity of massive objects could bend light, in which creating and optical illusion. More at the link.
Some very beautiful pictures.

Oneof the many pictures taken by the telescope. An Example of a Dying Star some 3,800 light years away. Looks like a Butterfly lol: |
