Just in time for the holidays, the Hubble Space Telescope brings back stunning images of a flickering star and nebula that resembles a sparkling wreath, according to NASA.

The images show the star RS Puppis at the center, swathed in reflective dust– the pulsing light illuminating the nebula nearby.

“Happy Holidays from Hubble: We got you a light echo from the star RS Puppis!” Hubble administrators posted on the Hubble’s Facebook page.  “Hope it fits!”

RS Puppis is 200 times larger than the Earth’s sun, and brightens and dims over a six-week cycle. “Its average intrinsic brightness is 15,000 times greater than our sun’s luminosity,” NASA says.

As the star flickers, the nebula surrounding it catches the light in pulses. The Hubble was able to catch the flashes by taking a series of photos as the flashes rippled across the nebula. Scientists believe that RS Puppis is 6,500 light years away from us.

“RS Puppis is unusual as it is shrouded by a nebula — thick, dark clouds of gas and dust,”  SpaceTelescope.org posted in a release. “Hubble observed this star and its murky environment over a period of five weeks in 2010, capturing snapshots at different stages in its cycle and enabling scientists to create a time-lapse video of this ethereal object.”
