Description

Sharpless 2-188, an unusual planetary nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. The expanding gas from the planetary nebula is colliding with ambient gas in the interstellar medium. The nebula is nearly circular in shape but is much brighter to the southeast because the central star is moving rapidly in that direction. Faint wisps of gas can also be seen in the opposite direction.
