The formation resembles a person's head surrounded by a parka hood. Both taken with my Evolution 8 and 294 MC Pro. The Eskimo Nebula is clearly a planetary nebula, and the gas seen above composed the outer layers of … Eskimo Nebula: F469N (He II), F502N ([O III]), F656N (H-alpha), F658N ([N II]) Abell 2218: F450W (Wide B), F606W (Wide V), and F814 W (I) Fast Facts Help About The Object ; Object Name: A name or catalog number that astronomers use to identify an astronomical object. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel in 1787.

View profile Send private message Share; Navigation context User gallery User collection The Eskimo Nebula (NGC 2392), also known as the Clownface Nebula or Caldwell 39, is a bipolar double-shell planetary nebula (PN). In 2000, just after being fixed, the Hubble Space Telescope imaged the Eskimo Nebula.

Eskimo Nebula Contains: Eskimo nebula, NGC 2392. Object Description: The type of astronomical object. The picture was taken Jan. 10 and 11, 2000, with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2. The pioneering astronomer William Herschel first discovered it in 1787 using an early telescope that revealed very little of the structure we see in this infrared image from NASAs Spitzer Space Telescope. From space, the nebula displays gas clouds so complex they are not fully understood.

The green area displayed on top of the DSS2 image of NGC 2392 is a visual representation of it. This designation, however, is deceiving because planetary nebulas actually have nothing to do with planets.

No moon that I can recall. Here is another great example (with NGC2392) of why focal length (and the resulting image scale) really matters for smaller objects. The term is simply a historic relic since these objects looked like planetary disks to astronomers in earlier times looking through small optical telescopes.
