The very faint planetary nebula, known as Abell 7, is about 1,800 light-years from Earth. It is located just south of Orion toward the constellation Lepus, The Hare. Posing against the Milky Way stars, its simple spherical shape about 8 light-years in diameter is revealed in this deep telescopic image.

Planetary Nebula Abell 7
Very faint planetary nebula Abell 7 is about 1,800 light-years distant. It lies just south of Orion in planet Earth's skies toward the constellation Lepus, The Hare. Posing with scattered Milky Way stars, its generally simple spherical shape about 8 light-years in diameter is revealed in this deep telescopic image.

Hah, and while their attempts to take pictures of the ELT from the plane are just as bad as mine, I noticed that at 07:26 they are showing my MUSE picture demonstrating AO correction of Planetary Nebula NGC 6563. 😀

Faint blue arcs stretch across the sky near Andromeda. But they aren’t part of that galaxy.
SDSO 1 is now recognized as a Ghost Planetary Nebula, a newly defined class. It belongs to our own Milky Way.
Discovered by amateurs. Confirmed with 550 hours of data.

📸 Planetary Nebula Mz3: The Ant Nebula
Why is this nebula shaped like an ant? Mz3 is formed by gas expelled from a dying star. It might be shaped by a close companion star or powerful magnetic fields. The central star is similar to our Sun, offering a glimpse at our solar system's future.📅 APOD – July 13, 2025

Binary Star System
Most stars in the universe come in pairs. In a binary system, two stars orbit a common center of mass. Some, like V664 Cas, evolve into spectacular sights. This red giant and white dwarf orbit every 0.58 days, creating the planetary nebula HFG1 and a glowing arc-shaped shockwave.

JWST/MIRI Study of the Enigmatic Mid-Infrared Rings in the #PlanetaryNebula NGC 1514: https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.21281v1 -> "the material from which the rings were formed was ejected during an early period of very heavy mass loss from the PN progenitor, then shaped by asymmetrical fast winds from the central binary pair."
