The sands of time are running out for the central star of this the Hourglass Nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected and its core becomes a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the 'hourglass.' The unprecedented sharpness of Hubble's images revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.

Year 6 pupils attended the Pembrokeshire Film Festival at Pembrokeshire College, Haverfordwest on Thursday 8th July.
The children put on their glad rags to walk along the Red Carpet before watching all this year’s films and animation.
Although their film, “The Creation,” didn’t win there were very pleasing comments from the panel of judges:
“The voice-overs on the film were very well-performed; we liked the banter between the two presenters. Some very good use of chroma-key special effects (the stars and the moon) which were also used to good humorous effect with the ducks and boats. Good quick-paced editing with attention to detail and use of location shots. A lot of work has gone into producing this short film. Well done.”
Class 4 would like to thank Jo Randles for all her help in making the film.
Hopefully the film will be posted on the website shortly.
