The Stingray Nebula (Hen 3-1357) is the youngest-known planetary nebula, having appeared in the 1980s. [2] The nebula is located in the direction of the southern constellation Ara (the Altar), and is located 18,000 light-years (5,600 parsecs ) away.
NGC 6326 is a complex and irregularly structured planetary nebula located in the constellation Ara.It was discovered by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop on 26 August 1826. . NGC 6326 is the result of the ejected material from the central binary star, which is nearing the end of its l

NGC 6193 (also known as Caldwell 82) is open cluster containing 27 stars in the constellation Ara, visible to the unaided eye. [1] NGC 6193 lies at the center of the Ara OB1 association, which extends over a square degree.
NGC 6357 is a diffuse nebula near NGC 6334 in the constellation Scorpius.The nebula contains many proto-stars shielded by dark discs of gas, and young stars wrapped in expanding "cocoons" or expanding gases surrounding these small stars.
A former NASA commander has revealed that while piloting his private plane in Texas last summer he nearly had a collision with two mysterious “metallic, spherical orbs.” Astronaut Leroy Chiao ...
NGC 6215 is part of galaxy group NGC 6221/15, which includes barred spiral galaxy NGC 6221 and three dwarf galaxies.A double-stranded bridge of neutral hydrogen gas connects NGC 6215 and 6221 as a result of their interaction, and Dwarf 3 of the three dwarf galaxies may have formed from the bridging gas.
NGC 6188, also known as the Firebird Nebula, is an emission nebula located about 4,000 light years away in the constellation Ara. The bright open cluster NGC 6193, visible to the naked eye, is responsible for a region of reflection nebulosity within NGC 6188.
