NGC 6369: The Little Ghost Nebula
NGC 6369, also known as the Little Ghost Nebula, was discovered by William Herschel in the constellation Ophiuchus. This planetary nebula is formed when a sun-like star sheds its outer layers into space. The star's core then shrinks into a white dwarf, illuminating the expanding gas cloud. Despite the name, planetary nebulae have no relation to planets.
