A DYING STAR PHOTOGRAPHED BY HUBBLE

U Cam for short, a star in the  constellation of Camelopardalis, is dying.

But that's a long process. Every few thousand years, U Cam coughs out a nearly spherical shell of gas. 

Nothing gold stays, as Robert Frost wrote in his wonderful poem. Not even a star.

25,000 light years from us...
They say, however, that most of the universe is made of dark matter. Be as it be, light is beautiful and makes the mind twinkle.
