"Holiday Snow Angel."

Just in time for the holidays, the Hubble Space Telescope
has delivered an amazing  view of a cosmic event that is being called the
"Holiday Snow Angel." 

The image captures a compact star-forming region in the constellation Cygnus
that is 2,000 light years away from Earth. All the commotion is being caused by
the formation of a star called S106 IR that is found in the center of the image. 

Check out the picture! But don't get too close. Hubble spokesman Ray Villard  told CNN:
"A super-hot star much larger than our sun has twin blowtorches of hot gas shooting
out into space. The star is destined for a short life and will then explode as
a supernova, disintegrating everything around it."
