In this Hubble space telescope image, taken with a camera installed on Hubble 30 years ago this week, the Twin Jet Nebula stuns!

Also known as M2-9, this nebula is 2,100 light years away and was created by a dying star.

The Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 was installed during the first servicing mission of the Hubble space telescope and corrected the telescope's blurred vision. It gave us this iconic image and many other images that help us better understand our universe.

A glowing spot of purple-white light, surrounded on either side by lobes of purple and green gas extending like wings into space. Several stars shine in the background.
