Finally, they shrink to dim, glowing embers. A quiet ending--or so everyone thought before the Hubble Space Telescope came along. New images released last week show that the process is more complex and violent than anyone believed. Supersonic jets of particles and dense clots of dust warp the glowing gas into...
