NGC 6826: The Blinking Eye

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

NGC 6826, also known as the Blinking Eye Nebula, is a planetary nebula formed by a dying sun-like star. The star's outer layers are cast off, creating an expanding emission nebula that lasts for about 10,000 years. This phase is brief compared to a star's 10-billion-year lifespan. Planetary nebulae like this one offer insights into stellar evolution.
