2.  Also called God’s Eye, or NGC 7293
 It is the closest nebula to Earth
 It is only about 213 Parsecs (690 Light years)
away
 It is debated on how far away it actually is,
somewhere between 450 to 650 to 690 light years
 It lies with in the Aquarius Constellation

3.  It is a Planetary Nebula
 Means it could create planets
 It is about 287 Arcminutes (5.6 Light Years,
or 1.7 Parsecs) across

4.  It is thought to have a complex structure
 Almost as if It had two disks nearly perpendicular
to each other
 Can not be all that sure because the Hubble only
takes 2-D pictures
 Its color comes mostly from hydrogen (red
outer disk) and oxygen (blue outside of
inside disk)

5.  It seems to have tentacles pointing to the
white dwarf star (in the blue and red parts)
 It is thought to be created by hot stellar wind
plowing into colder shells of dust and gas
 The tentacles are almost comet like
 They have been observed from Earth for a
long time, but never up close
