The Owl Nebula (also known as Messier 97, M97 or NGC 3587) is a planetary nebula approximately 2,030 light years away in the constellation Ursa Major. [2] Estimated to be about 8,000 years old, [ 6 ] it is approximately circular in cross-section with a faint internal structure.
The bright planetary nebula Owl Nebula (M97) can be found along the bottom of the bowl of the Big Dipper. M81 is a nearly face-on spiral galaxy 11.8 million light-years from Earth. Like most spiral galaxies, it has a core made up of old stars, with arms filled with young stars and nebulae.

The Southern Owl Nebula (PLN 283+25.1, ESO 378-1) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Hydra. The nebula lies at a distance of 2,030 light years from Earth. It is named so because of its resemblance to the Owl Nebula in Ursa Major. [2] The nebula is notably symmetric, round, and has a diameter of approximately four light-years ...

IRAS 19024+0044 is a protoplanetary nebula in Aquila. Three interesting planetary nebulae lie in Aquila: NGC 6804 shows a small but bright ring. NGC 6781 bears some resemblance with the Owl Nebula in Ursa Major. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1788. [36] NGC 6751, also known as the Glowing Eye, is a planetary nebula. The nebula is ...
The nebula is faint making it difficult to be seen using a telescope. The spherical shape of Abell 33 is mainly caused by its central star not having much of a spin. [ 2 ] The nebula shares similar morphology to another nebula with the same spherical shape, the Owl Nebula ( M 97 ) but is much darker than the owl nebula.
NGC 3675 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Ursa Major.It is located at a distance of about 50 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 3675 is about 100,000 light years across.
