The Engraved Hourglass Nebula (also known as MyCn 18 [2]) is a young planetary nebula in the southern constellation Musca. It was discovered by Annie Jump Cannon and Margaret W. Mayall during their work on an extended Henry Draper Catalogue (the catalogue was built between 1918 and 1924). At the time, it was designated simply as a small faint ...
Located 2.4° east of Eta Muscae is the magnitude-12.9 Engraved Hourglass Nebula (MyCn 18), [61] which lies about 8000 light-years distant from Earth. [62] To Eta's west lies IC 4191, a compact bluish planetary nebula of magnitude 10.6, [63] thought to lie around 10,750 light-years away from Earth. [64]

HD 100546, also known as KR Muscae, is a pre-main sequence star of spectral type B8 to A0 located 353 light-years (108 parsecs) from Earth in the southern constellation of Musca. [4]
It spins at a rate of 30 times per second, spewing energy beams and taking on a decidedly pulsating appearance.

WFPC2 was used to image the Hubble Deep Field in 1995, the Engraved Hourglass Nebula and Egg Nebula in 1996, and the Hubble Deep Field South in 1998. During STS-125, WFPC2 was removed and replaced with the Wide Field Camera 3 as part of the mission's first spacewalk on May 14, 2009.
