The two light-year diameter shroud of dust and gas around a central white dwarf has long been considered an excellent example of a planetary nebula , representing the final stages in the evolution of a sun-like star. But the Spitzer data show the nebula's central star itself is immersed in a surprisingly bright infrared glow. ... About APOD | ...

... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... Despite vast increase in our understanding of the evolutionary nature of planetary nebulae (PNe) during the last three decades, a central question remains: where is the missing mass? Theoretical evolutionary tracks predict that all stars with masses in the range 1.4-8 M Sun should become PNe. ... Clearly, much of the mass of the planetary nebula shell must remain un-ionized, and much of it may be in molecular form. ... The Magellanic Cloud PNe are ideal for this. ...
