Did you know there's a 'Bubble Nebula' 7,100 light-years away?

Stumbled on this fact the other day: there’s something called the Bubble Nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It looks like this perfect soap bubble in the sky, and it’s created by a massive star that’s blowing out stellar winds, creating this bubble effect. It’s not just a little thing either—it's about seven light-years across! Can you imagine seeing something like that in our own sky, as close as the moon? Would freak me out!

That sounds beautiful! If only we can see it through a telescope. I bet it's an amazing sight to see.

Right? If the Bubble Nebula were as close as the moon, we’d be staring up in awe and maybe even wondering if we accidentally wandered into a cosmic soap commercial—imagine the bubble baths we’d be having on Earth!
