The Eskimo Nebula, also known as the Clown-faced Nebula, Lion Nebula, or Caldwell 39, is a bipolar double-shell planetary nebula (PN). It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel in 1787. The formation resembles a person's head surrounded by a parka hood. It is surrounded by gas that composed the outer layers of a Sun-like star. The visible inner filaments are ejected by a strong wind of particles from the central star. The outer disk contains unusual, light-year-long filaments.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">NGC 6302</span> Bipolar planetary nebula in the constellation Scorpius

NGC 6302 is a bipolar planetary nebula in the constellation Scorpius. The structure in the nebula is among the most complex ever observed in planetary nebulae. The spectrum of NGC 6302 shows that its central star is one of the hottest stars known, with a surface temperature in excess of 250,000 degrees Celsius, implying that the star from which it formed must have been very large.

NGC 5749 is an open cluster of stars positioned near the southwest border of the southern constellation of Lupus. It is located at a distance of 3,548 light years from the Sun. This is a poorly populated cluster that shows a low level of concentration; the Trumpler class is IV1p. There are 112 stars brighter than magnitude 14.4 within an angular radius of ~15′ of the cluster center, but only about 30% of these are members. NGC 5749 is 27 million years old with a tidal radius of 11.7 light years and a mass of ~21 M. Polarization measurements suggest there is a dust cloud within the cluster.

HD 221246 or NGC 7686 1 is a star in open cluster NGC 7686, and it belongs to the northern constellation of Andromeda. With an apparent visual magnitude of 6.17, it can be viewed by the naked eye only under very favourable conditions. It has a spectral classification of K3III, meaning it is an evolved orange giant star. Parallax measurements place this star about 1,000 light years away from the solar system.
