NGC 6369: The Little Ghost Nebula
William Herschel discovered NGC 6369, the Little Ghost Nebula, in the constellation Ophiuchus. This round, planet-shaped nebula is relatively faint. Planetary nebulae form when a sun-like star sheds its outer layers at the end of its life, while its core shrinks into a white dwarf.
