　　At the end of a star's life, it wraps itself in a cocoon by

spilling out gas and dust. Sometime later, a butterfly-like nebula

emerges from the cocoon and develops into a planetary nebula. They

are among the most beautiful of the celestial objects imaged by the

Hubble Space Telescope. Their structures, like bubbles floating in

the void, are complemented by a kaleidoscope of colour emitted by

glowing gases. Delicate, lacelike, streamers of gas add to their

complexity. The production of a planetary nebula by a star is a

milestone in the life of a star, an event that foretells the doom

of the sta***hen its central energy source runs out. In this book,

Sun Kwok tells the story of the discovery process of the creation

of planetary nebulae and of the future of the Sun. Full colour

illustrati*** are included throughout the book.
