The Red Spider Nebula is home to one of the hottest stars ever discovered, causing the surrounding gas to heat up and create massive shockwaves as tall as 62 billion miles (100 billion km). These waves form striking, spider-leg-like arcs, with the central star resembling a black widow’s hourglass shape.
