IC 349, also known as Barnard's Merope Nebula, is a nebula which lies 3500 AUs (0.06 light years) [2] from the star Merope in the Pleiades cluster.. It was discovered in November 1890 by the American astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard, who described it as "a new and comparatively bright round cometary nebula close south and following Merope (23 Tau) ... about 30" in diameter, of the 13 ...

The Carina Nebula is an example of a diffuse nebula. Most nebulae can be described as diffuse nebulae, which means that they are extended and contain no well-defined boundaries. [24] Diffuse nebulae can be divided into emission nebulae, reflection nebulae and dark nebulae.

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]
