NGC 7027, also known as the Jewel Bug Nebula or the Magic Carpet Nebula, [6] is a very young and dense planetary nebula [7] located around 3,000 light-years (920 parsecs) from Earth in the constellation Cygnus.

2020年6月18日 · ngc 7027 Recently, NGC 7027's central star was identified in a new wavelength of light — near-ultraviolet — for the first time by using Hubble's unique capabilities. The near-ultraviolet observations will help reveal how much dust obscures the …

2021年4月12日 · The Jewel Bug Nebula (NGC 7027) is a young planetary nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It lies approximately 2,870 light years away. With an apparent magnitude of 10, it is one of the brightest planetary nebulae in the …

1998年3月19日 · The Hubble Space Telescope's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) has captured a glimpse of a brief stage in the burnout of NGC 7027, a medium-mass star like our sun. The infrared image (on the left) shows a young planetary nebula in a state of rapid...

NGC 7027 is one of the smallest, brightest, and most unusually shaped planetary nebulas known. Given its expansion rate, NGC 7027 first started expanding, as visible from Earth, about 600 years ago.

In spite of the odd structure and dust, NGC 7027 is the standard object against which the measured brightnesses of other nebulae are compared. The distance of 2900 light years (known with an accuracy of about 15 percent) is found by comparing the expansion of the radio image with an expansion velocity of around 18 kilometers per second (though ...

2013年8月26日 · Studying Hubble images of NGC 7027 have led to the understanding that it is a planetary nebula that began expanding about 600 years ago, and that the cloud of gas and dust is unusually massive as it appears to contain about three times the mass of our Sun. Pictured above in assigned colors, the resolved, layered, and dust-laced features of NGC ...

2018年1月8日 · First discovered in 1878, nebula NGC 7027 can be seen toward the constellation of the Swan (Cygnus) with a standard backyard telescope. Partly because it appears there as only an indistinct spot, it is rarely referred to with a moniker.

2020年6月18日 · Recently, NGC 7027's central star was identified in a new wavelength of light — near-ultraviolet — for the first time by using Hubble's unique capabilities. The near-ultraviolet observations will help reveal how much dust obscures the star and how hot the star really is.
