View of several proplyds within the Orion Nebula taken by the Hubble Space Telescope Star Formation Fireworks in Orion. The Orion Nebula is an example of a stellar nursery where new stars are being born. Observations of the nebula have revealed approximately 700 stars in various stages of formation within the nebula.

NGC 3132 (also known as the Eight-Burst Nebula, [2] the Southern Ring Nebula, [2] or Caldwell 74) is a bright and extensively studied planetary nebula in the constellation Vela. Its distance from Earth is estimated at 613 pc or 2,000 light-years .
NGC 6826 (also known as Caldwell 15) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is commonly referred to as the "Blinking Planetary", although many other nebulae exhibit such "blinking". When viewed through a small telescope, the brightness of the central star overwhelms the eye when viewed directly, obscuring the surrounding ...
NGC 2440 is a planetary nebula, one of many in our galaxy. Its central star, HD 62166, [1] is possibly the hottest known white dwarf, about 400,000°F(200,000°C). The nebula is situated in the constellation Puppis. It was discovered by William Herschel on March 4, 1790. He described it as "a beautiful planetary nebula of a considerable degree ...
NGC 3918 is a bright planetary nebula in the constellation Centaurus, nicknamed the "Blue Planetary" or "The Southerner". It is the brightest of the far southern planetary nebulae. This nebula was discovered by Sir John Herschel in March 1834 and is easily visible through small telescopes.
Jewel Bug Nebula, [citation needed] Gummy Bear Nebula [5] See also: Lists of nebulae NGC 7027, also known as the Jewel Bug Nebula or the Magic Carpet Nebula , [ 6 ] is a very young and dense planetary nebula [ 7 ] located around 3,000 light-years (920 parsecs ) from Earth in the constellation Cygnus .
NGC 3324 is an open cluster in the southern constellation Carina, located northwest of the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) [3] [4] at a distance of 9,100 ly (2,800 pc) from Earth. [2] It is closely associated with the emission nebula IC 2599 , also known as Gum 31 . [ 5 ]
