Dumbbell Nebula

Japanese: 亜鈴星雲 - あれいせいうん(英語表記)dumbell nebula
Dumbbell Nebula
M27, NGC6853. A planetary nebula in the small constellation Vulpecula, south of Cygnus. It is the brightest planetary nebula, with a magnitude of 7.8, and was discovered in 1764. It is relatively close, at 720 light years, and spans 8' x 4'. It is called the Iron Flake Nebula because it resembles an iron slab with both sides missing from the disk. At the end of its life, the surface atmosphere of the central star became unstable, releasing about half of its total mass of gas.
