The nebula is known as S 142 in the 1959 Sharpless catalog (Sh2-142). [2] It is extremely difficult to observe visually, usually requiring very dark skies and an O-III filter. The NGC 7380 complex is located at a distance of approximately 8.5 kilolight-years from the Sun , in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way .
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 mean expansion velocity of the nebula seems to be slow at 20 km/s at the outer layer, [7] while it also reaches a maximum expansion velocity of 60 km/s relative to its central star. [8] Its central star has a magnitude of around 14m [7] and a temperature of around 47,000--59 000 K. [9] The most characteristic feature of IC 4997 is its ...
IC 5146 (also Caldwell 19, Sh 2-125, Barnard 168, and the Cocoon Nebula) is a reflection [2] /emission [3] nebula and Caldwell object in the constellation Cygnus. The NGC description refers to IC 5146 as a cluster of 9.5 mag stars involved in a bright and dark nebula.
NGC 2936, NGC 2937, and PGC 1237172 are included in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as Arp 142 in the category "Galaxy triplet". On 20 June 2013, the Hubble Space Telescope examined and photographed NGC 2936. [5] NGC 2936 once had a flat, spiral disk. The orbits of the galaxy's stars have been perturbed due to gravitational tidal interactions ...
NGC 3242 (also known as the Ghost of Jupiter, Eye Nebula or Caldwell 59) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Hydra.. William Herschel discovered the nebula on February 7, 1785, and catalogued it as H IV.27.
[5] [6] The complex also includes one of the hottest stars discovered within 1 kpc of the Sun, namely BD+66 1673, which is an eclipsing binary system consisting of an O5V that exhibits a surface temperature of nearly 45,000 K and a luminosity about 100,000 times that of the Sun. [5] The star is one of the primary sources illuminating the nebula ...
Dos EPs is the first compilation album by the American stoner rock band Nebula. [9] [10] It was released on May 28, 2002, by MeteorCity, and later reissued in 2018 by the band's current label, Heavy Psych Sounds Records. [11] The album contains songs from the Nebula/Lowrider and Sun Creature EPs, as well as three new tracks.
