	Planetary nebula
		A planetary nebula is an astronomical object that usually appears nebulous and disk-like in low-resolution observations.
		The remains of the star which produced the nebula is also responsible for the energy which causes it to glow.
		Some of the more famous examples of this type of object are the Ring Nebula, the Helix nebula, the Eskimo Nebula and the Cat's Eye nebula.

	Hubble Eskimo Nebula Photo
		This stellar relic, first spied by William Herschel in 1787, is nicknamed the "Eskimo" Nebula (NGC 2392) because, when viewed through ground-based telescopes, it resembles a face surrounded by a fur parka.
		In this Hubble telescope image, the "parka" is really a disk of material embellished with a ring of comet-shaped objects, with their tails streaming away from the central, dying star.
		The nebula is composed of two elliptically shaped lobes of matter streaming above and below the dying star.

	Eskimo Nebula
		The Eskimo Nebula (which is also known as NGC 2392) is a planetary nebula some 5000 light years distant toward the constellation Gemini.
		Planetary nebulae have nothing to do with planets but rather are spherical shells of gas cast off by aging giant stars late in life.
		The Eskimo Nebula was discovered by the English astronomer William Herschel in 1787 and is named because it resembles a face surrounded by a fur parka when viewed through small telescopes.

	NGC 2392
		One of the brighter planetary nebulae in the skies, NGC 2392 in Gemini is commonly called the "Eskimo" Nebula, and it's not difficult to see why.
		A planetary nebula is the result of a near dead star slowing shedding itself of its gases.
		Of course, the size of such nebula is rather small, somewhat resembling the size of a planet from our point of view.

		The image of the planetary nebula came back with the delicate mixture of colors and detail that are the hallmark of Hubble images, one that may surpass even the "Pillars of Creation" of gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula.
		The nebula is also known as the "Clown Face Nebula" with the central star as the nose.
		The outer shells of gas around the Eskimo nebula were the outer layers of a star only 10,000 years ago, before it ran out of hydrogen and began the long process of becoming a red dwarf.

		The disc of material is embellished with a ring of comet-shaped objects, their tails streaming away from the central, dying star.
		The planetary nebula began to form about 10 000 years ago, when the dying star started to expel an intense 'wind' of high-speed material out into space.

		XMM-Newton and Hubble Space Telescope color composite images of NGC 2392, the Eskimo Nebula, a planetary nebula located some 4,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Gemini.
		The Eskimo Nebula is a complex shell of ionized gas that formed the outer layers of a Sun-like star a few thousand years ago.
		The origin of the hot gas in the central cavity of the Eskimo Nebula is unclear as it can be produced either by the interaction of a fast stellar wind with the nebular shell or by the action of fast collimated outflows.

		The photos of the Eskimo Nebula -- so called because when seen from earth, the star resembles a face surrounded by a fur parka -- are the first images from Hubble since last December’s Space Shuttle mission to repair faulty stabilizing gyros on the telescope.
		Previous research on this nebula, led by NC State astrophysicists Dr. John Blondin and Dr. Kazimierz Borkowski guided NASA to turn Hubble’s lens toward the Eskimo Nebula.

		The gaseous relic of this star is called the Eskimo Nebula because it resembles the shape of a head surrounded by a fur hood from a winter coat.
		The “head” is a bubble of gas surrounding the dying star, and the “fur” is gaseous material moving away from the star.

	Background (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		In 1787, astronomer William Herschel discovered the Eskimo Nebula.
		The Eskimo Nebula is clearly a planetary nebula, and the gas seen above composed the outer layers of a Sun-like star only 10,000 years ago.
		The inner filaments visible above are being ejected by strong wind of particles from the central star.

	Messier Object 31
		Edmond Halley, however, in his 1716 treat of "Nebulae", accounts the discovery of this "nebula" to the French astronomer Bullialdus (Ismail Bouillaud), who observed it in 1661; but Bullialdus mentions that it had been seen 150 years earlier (in the early 1500s) by some anonymous astronomer (R.H. Allen, 1899/1963).
		It was William Huggins, the pioneer of spectroscopy, who noted in 1864 the difference between gaseous nebula with their line spectra and those "nebulae" with star-like, continuous spectra, which we now know as galaxies, and found a continuous spectrum for M31 (Huggins and Miller 1864).
		Hubble published his epochal study of the Andromeda "nebula" as an extragalactic stellar system (galaxy) in 1929 (Hubble 1929).

	Hubble Returns to Service and Provides a Stunning Glimpse of The Eskimo Nebula \| SpaceRef - Your Space Reference
		One of the pictures chosen this time was of NGC 2392, the "Eskimo Nebula" (also know as the "Clownface Nebula") a planetary nebula located in the constellation Gemini.
		The term "planetary" nebula is somewhat misleading and is a relic from the early days of telescopic astronomy.
		In a planetary nebula, stellar explosions cause gas and debris to expand outward in a roughly spherical shell, with light and high energy radiation being refracted and absorbed by these materials causing different portions to glow in a wide array of colors.

		Two regions in the Eskimo are believed to be FLIERs: the bushy "beard" below the face, and the "hat" - the region of the fur above the face which is thick and has a different texture from the rest of the parka.

		As the fast stellar wind runs into slow moving gas a shock front is formed, analogous to the bow wave of a boat moving through water or a plane traveling at supersonic speed.
		The slower gas is flowing away from the Orion Nebula's hot central star cluster, the Trapezium, located off the lower right hand edge of the picture.
		This suggestively shaped reflection nebula is associated with the bright star Rigel in the constellation Orion.

		NGC 2392 is a small bright Planetary Nebula discovered by William Herschel in 1787.
		T.W. Webb in 1852 described this nebula as "quite like a telescopic comet" while Lord Rosse (1850) spoke of it as "a wonderful object as seen with the 6-foot telescope; it has been several times examined and as yet we have not seen the slightest indication of resolvability.
		As typical with planetary nebulae, the catalogs give widely different distances for NGC 2392.
