NASA paid its respects to the late Prince recently with this photo of the Crab Nebula as seen by the Hubble and Herschel space telescopes.
“A purple nebula, in honor of Prince, who passed away today,” NASA officials tweeted.
The Crab Nebula, which lies about 6,500 light-years from Earth, is a supernova remnant — a structure shaped by the explosive death of a massive star.
