Haley's Coronet is at war with its neighboring dwarf galaxy, and it's a gravitational struggle the latter is bound to lose.

New research conducted by scientists from NASA and Japan’s Osaka University suggests that rogue planets, or worlds that drift through space untethered to a star, significantly outnumber planets that orbit stars. The results indicate that NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, scheduled for launch

The jug-like structure is a rare and short-lived double-lobed planetary nebula.

While U.S. Space Force thus far has split National Security Space Launch (NSSL) between SpaceX and United Launch Alliance (ULA), the service plans to have one more provider by the end of NSSL Phase 3 to guarantee Space Force can reach high-priority orbits when needed.

The 'ultracool' star is possibly around 44 times as dense as our solar system's largest member—the gas giant Jupiter.
