Its central star is a symbiotic variable star symbiotic Mira variable white dwarf pair. The adjective southern distinguishes it from the CrabNebula , which is in the northern sky. From Earth, it looks like the body and legs of a crab and also somewhat like an hourglass . The nebula had already been observed using Earth based telescopes, but images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope shown in 1999 have provided much more detail, revealing that at the center of the nebula are a pair of stars, a red giant and a white dwarf .

The emission nebulanebula resembles a pelican in shape, hence the name. The Pelican Nebula is a large area of emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus the Swan , close to Deneb, and divided from its brighter, larger neighbor, the North America Nebula, by a molecular cloud filled with dark dust. The Pelican is much studied because it has a particularly active mix of star formation and evolving gas clouds. The light from young energetic stars is slowly transforming cold gas to hot and causing an ionization front gradually to advance outward. Particularly dense filaments of cold gas are seen to still remain. Millions of years from now this nebula might no longer be known as the Pelican, as the balance and placement of stars and gas will leave something that appears completely different.

It was discovered by Pierre M chain in 1781. M97 is regarded as one of the more complex of the planetaries. The 16th apparent magnitude magnitude central star has about 0.7 solar mass and the nebula itself about 0.15 solar mass. The nebula formed roughly 6,000 years ago. The nebula gets it name due to the appearance of owl like eyes when view through a large 200 mm telescope under dark sky conditions with the aid of a so called nebula filter. The eyes are also easily visible through photographs taken of the nebula.

McNeil s Nebula is a variable nebula discovered January 23, 2004 by Jay McNeil of Paducah , Kentucky . Overview Only recently discovered by amateur astronomer Julian W. McNeil II Jay McNeil , this peculiar looking object is currently classified as a cometary type reflection nebula . The newborn nebula was found while processing a wide field image of Orion constellation Orion s Messier 78 nebular region which was taken from McNeil s suburban backyard using a 3 inch refractor. Images taken of the area before September 2003 show absolutely no signs of the nebula nor its ruddy illuminating star, which can be seen near the object s southern apex. Preliminary research by Bo Reipurth Univ. of Hawaii reveals that the nebula was created when the deeply imbedded fetal star previously catalogued as IRAS 05436 0007 somehow erupted and went into outburst. The young star s sudden increase in brightness consequently resulted in the surrounding cocoon of gas and dust becoming illuminated much like a lighthouse would light up a foggy harbor. To actually capture such an eruption of a pre main sequence star so early in its evolution is an extremely rare occurrence. Often regarded as FU Orionis or EX Lupii type events, these sudden outbursts represent a very illusive stage through which most stars are thought to pass as they make final adjustments with their surroundings before settling down and becoming ...
