Description

This planetary nebula shows intricate shells of gas likely expelled at 
the end of the star's life. Although the expanding nebula will fade away over the next few thousand years, the central bluish white dwarf with apparent magnitude of 16.8, may well survive for billions of years. It is located 1600 light-years away in the constellation Lynx.
