NGC 6751: The Glowing Eye Nebula
Planetary nebulae often appear simple and round in small telescopes. However, images from the Hubble Space Telescope reveal a variety of detailed symmetries and shapes in these fluorescent gas shrouds of dying Sun-like stars. This Hubble image of NGC 6751, the Glowing Eye Nebula, is a prime example of a classic planetary nebula with complex features.
