Curved like the arc that gives it its name, this nebula in Centaurus surrounds a star in transition, shedding its matter before it fully reveals itself. Inside it, scientists have measured some of the coldest temperatures ever observed. Such frozen gentleness belongs to it alone: entrust it to someone whose calm conceals a rare depth.
