Planetary nebula IC 418, or “Spirograph”, located at a distance of two thousand light-years from Earth in the constellation of the Hare. The picture was taken on the Hubble telescope.
This was reported on the website NASA.
As told on the website, planetary nebulae appear in the final stages of stars similar to the Sun.
The star at the center of IC 418 was a red giant thousands of years ago, and then discarded his outer shell that formed the nebula. IC 418 extends 0.1 light-years.
