NGC 1535, also known as Cleopatra's Eye, [3] is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Eridanus, discovered by William Herschel on February 1, 1785. [4] It is very similar to the Eskimo Nebula in both color and structure but the central star can be quite difficult to observe visually. [5]
A nebula that is visible to the human eye from Earth would appear larger, but no brighter, from close by. [6] The Orion Nebula, the brightest nebula in the sky and occupying an area twice the angular diameter of the full Moon, can be viewed with the naked eye but was missed by early astronomers. [7]

A starchart of the Orion Nebula Optical images reveal clouds of gas and dust in the Orion Nebula; an infrared image (right) reveals the new stars shining within. 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.
