Below is a list of the largest known nebulae so far discovered, ordered by actual diameter. This list is prone to change because of inconsistencies between studies, the great distances of nebulae from our stellar neighborhood, and the constant refinement of technology and engineering .
Westerhout 50 (W50) or SNR G039.7-02.0, also referred to as the Manatee Nebula, [1] is a supernova remnant located in the constellation Aquila, about 18,000 light years away. In its centre lies the micro-quasar SS 433 , whose jets are distorting the remnant's shell.

The mass of the nebula is estimated at about 0.6 solar masses, while the progenitor star was likely about 2.3 times the mass of the Sun. [4] NGC 2818 presents a complex morphology, and overall has bipolar structure, making it a bipolar nebula. The two lobes are somewhat broken and irregular.
It is also known as the Lobster Nebula. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] This nebula was given the name War and Peace Nebula by the Midcourse Space Experiment scientists because of its appearance, which, in infrared images the bright, western part resembles a dove, while the eastern part looks like a skull. [ 6 ]
The overall nebula with smaller hole shown in context. NGC 1999, also known as The Cosmic Keyhole, [1] [2] is a dust-filled bright nebula with a vast hole of empty space represented by a black patch of sky, as can be seen in the photograph. It is a reflection nebula, and shines from the light of the variable star V380 Orionis.
