Another ELAN, called MLAN 10 is nearby. Q0042−2627 nebula 1,040,000 ly (320,000 pc) [10] Enormous Lyα nebula (ELAN) Around the quasar LBQS 0042-2627, at z=3.280
NGC 4361 (also known as the Lawn Sprinkler Nebula [4] or Garden Sprinkler Nebula) is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Corvus. [ 3 ] [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is included in the Astronomical League 's Herschel 400 Observing Program.
The number of nebulae was then greatly increased by the efforts of William Herschel and his sister, Caroline Herschel. Their Catalogue of One Thousand New Nebulae and Clusters of Stars [16] was published in 1786. A second catalog of a thousand was published in 1789, and the third and final catalog of 510 appeared in 1802.
The Helix Nebula (also known as NGC 7293 or Caldwell 63) is a planetary nebula (PN) located in the constellation Aquarius. Discovered by Karl Ludwig Harding, most likely before 1824, this object is one of the closest of all the bright planetary nebulae to Earth. [3] The distance, measured by the Gaia mission, is 655±13 light-years. [4]

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.

The nebula contains ions of extremely high ionization potential. [20] The helium hydride ion, thought to be the earliest molecule to have been formed in the Universe (about 100,000 years after the Big Bang), was detected in 2019 for the first time in space in NGC 7027. [21] [22] There is also evidence for the presence of nanodiamond in NGC 7027 ...
