Explanation: A cold wind blows from the central star of the Boomerang Nebula. Seen here
in a detailed false-color image recorded in 1998 by the Hubble Space Telescope, the nebula
lies about 5,000 light-years away towards the grand southern constellation of Centaurus. The
symmetric cloud appears to have been created by a high-speed wind of gas and dust blowing
from an aging central star at speeds of
