The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as the Apple Core Nebula, Messier 27, and NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula (nebulosity surrounding a white dwarf) in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1360 light-years. [1] It was the first such nebula to be discovered, by Charles Messier in 1764.
English: HaRGB image of The Little Dumbbell Nebula (M76). Data from the Liverpool Telescope (a 2 m RC telescope on La Palma) processed by Göran Nilsson and Wim van Berlo. 150 exposures totalling 4.2 hours
To mark 34 years of service, the Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of the Little Dumbbell Nebula, which may contain evidence of one star devouring another.
NGC 6820 is a small reflection nebula near the open cluster NGC 6823 in Vulpecula. The reflection nebula and cluster are embedded in a large faint emission nebula called Sh 2-86. The whole area of nebulosity is often referred to as NGC 6820. [3] M27, the Dumbbell Nebula, is found three degrees to the east, and α Vulpeculae three degrees to the ...
The Dumbbell Nebula (M27), is a large, bright planetary nebula which was discovered by the French astronomer Charles Messier in 1764 as the very first object of its kind. [12] It can be seen with good binoculars in a dark sky location, appearing as a dimly glowing disk approximately 8 arcminutes in diameter. [13] The nebula is approximately ...
Cometary knots in the Helix Nebula. Cometary knots, also referred as globules, are structures observed in several nearby planetary nebulae (PNe), including the Helix Nebula (NGC 7293), the Ring Nebula (NGC 6720), the Dumbbell Nebula (NGC 6853), the Eskimo Nebula (NGC 2392), and the Retina Nebula (IC 4406).
