Planetary Nebulae are amongst some of the most beautiful objects in the night sky. It's like seeing what our Solar System would look Iike from an alien civilization's perspective, 5 billion years into the future. #starlightinsight There are an estimated 10,000 planetary nebulae in our galaxy alone, of which roughly 1,500 have been cataloged to date. Many are very small and can be mistaken for stars. Do you have a favorite? 📸 This photo is made with images from@nasahubble Telescope/Judy Schmidt #NASA /#ESA #AstroNature
