NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image showing two nebulae appearing as one. Both the nebulae are collectively called NGC 248 and reside in the Small Magellanic Cloud. It can be known that the Small Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy that is a satellite of our Milky Way galaxy. In the image you can see both the nebulae glowing red. This is because the intense radiation from the brilliant central stars is heating hydrogen in each of the nebulas.

"There are actually two nebulae in this #HubbleClassic view! Appearing as one, they're collectively called NGC 248. They reside in the Small Magellanic Cloud – a satellite galaxy to our Milky Way. NGC 248 is ~60 light-years long and 20 light-years wide, Hubble tweeted.

Sharing some details about the NGC 248m Hubble in a report said that the nebulae were discovered in 1834 by the astronomer John Herschel. It is among a number of glowing hydrogen nebulas in the dwarf satellite galaxy, which is located approximately 200,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Tucana.

The image is part of a study called Small Magellanic Cloud Investigation of Dust and Gas Evolution (SMIDGE). Astronomers are using Hubble to probe the Milky Way satellite to understand how dust is different in galaxies that have a far lower supply of heavy elements needed to create dust.
