Dolphin Head Nebula
Otherwise known as Sh2-308, this bubble like nebula has been created by the Wolf-Rayet star, the slightly dimmer star in the centre of the structure.
This star is near supernova, around 70,000 years ago it blew off it's first layer of hydrogen gas, which has over time formed the bubble we see today.
The image was created by Yovin Yahathugoda which is among the shortlisted entries for this year’s Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition, organised by the Royal Observatory Greenwich in London.
