Nebula

1.helix nebula

The Helix Nebula, also known as The Helix, NGC 7293, is a large planetary nebula located in the constellation Aquarius. Discovered by Karl Ludwig Harding, probably before 1824, this object is one of the closest to the Earth of all the bright planetary nebulae.
Distance to Earth: 694.7 light years
Radius: 2.87 light years
Did you know: The Helix Nebula, NGC 7293, lies about 700 light-years away in the constellation of Aquarius (the Water Bearer).

2.horsehead nebula

The Horsehead Nebula is a dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion’s Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex.
Radius: 3.499729761 light years
Distance to Earth: 1,500 light years
Coordinates: RA 5h 40m 59s | Dec -2° 27′ 30″
Constellation: Orion
Apparent dimensions (V): 8 × 6 arcmins
Did you know: Bright spots in the Horsehead Nebula’s base are young stars just in the process of forming.

3.orion nebula

The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion’s Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky.
Distance to Earth: 1,344 light years
Radius: 12 light years
Coordinates: RA 5h 35m 17s | Dec -5° 23′ 28″
Constellation: Orion
Apparent dimensions (V): 65×60 arcmins
Did you know: In 1993, the Hubble Space Telescope first observed the Orion Nebula.

4.cat’s eye nebula

The Cat’s Eye Nebula or NGC 6543, is a relatively bright planetary nebula in the northern constellation of Draco, discovered by William Herschel on February 15, 1786.
Radius: 0.2 light years
Distance to Earth: 3,262 light years
Coordinates: RA 17h 58m 33s | Dec +66° 38′ 0″
Constellation: Draco
Absolute magnitude (V): −0.2+0.8; −0.6B
Did you know: Observations suggest the star that created the Cat’s Eye Nebula ejected its mass in a series of pulses at 1,500-year intervals.

5.NGC 6302

NGC 6302, also called the Bug Nebula, Butterfly Nebula, is a bipolar planetary nebula in the constellation Scorpius. The structure in the nebula is among the most complex ever observed in planetary nebulae.
Distance to Earth: 3,392 light years

Radius: 300 light years
Distance to Earth: 159,800 light years
Magnitude: 8
Coordinates: RA 5h 38m 38s | Dec -69° 5′ 42″
