NGC 3132 (also known as the Eight-Burst Nebula, [2] the Southern Ring Nebula, [2] or Caldwell 74) is a bright and extensively studied planetary nebula in the constellation Vela. Its distance from Earth is estimated at 613 pc or 2,000 light-years .
The entirety of the Orion Nebula extends across a 1° region of the sky, and includes neutral clouds of gas and dust, associations of stars, ionized volumes of gas, and reflection nebulae. The Nebula is part of a much larger nebula that is known as the Orion molecular cloud complex.
As it is included in the New General Catalogue, this object has been known since at least 1888. [9] The earliest-known study of NGC 6302 is by Edward Emerson Barnard, who drew and described it in 1907. [2] The nebula featured in some of the first images released after the final servicing mission of the Hubble Space Telescope in September 2009. [10]
