	Planetary Nebulae
		On November 13, 1790, Herschel found the planetary nebula NGC 1514 (his H IV.69), which has a very bright central star; thus he became convinced that the planetary nebulae were nebulous material (gas or dust) associated with a central star, and not unresolved clusters as he and others had thought previously.
		Planetary nebulae have also been discovered in other galaxies with large telescopes, including the Large and the Small Magellanic Cloud, the Andromeda Galaxy M31, M33, M32, and NGC 6822 as well as other galaxies in the Local Group and beyond.
		Planetary Nebulae in the Globular Cluster PAL 6 and NGC 6441.

	Planetary nebula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A planetary nebula is an astronomical object consisting of a glowing shell of gas and plasma formed by certain types of stars at the end of their lives.
		Planetary nebulae are important objects in astronomy because they play a crucial role in the chemical evolution of the galaxy, returning material to the interstellar medium which has been enriched in heavy elements and other products of nucleosynthesis (such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and calcium).
		Planetary nebulae are generally faint objects, and none are visible to the naked eye.

	Planetary ring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A planetary ring is a ring of dust and other small particles orbiting around a planet in a flat disc-shaped region.
		The most spectacular and famous planetary rings are those around Saturn, but all four of the solar system's gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) possess ring systems of their own.
		The origin of planetary rings is not precisely known, but they are thought to be unstable and dissipate over the course of tens or hundreds of millions of years.

		Planetary science, also known as planetology or planetary astronomy, is the science of planets and the solar system, and incorporates an interdisciplinary approach drawing from diverse sciences.
		Planetary science may be considered a part of the Earth sciences, or more logically, as its parent field.
		Planetary science studies objects ranging in size from micrometeoroids to gas giants, their composition, dynamics and history.

		Planetary scientists study what is in orbit around stars but not doing what a star does (or used to do in an earlier life), which is fusion.
		Planetary science is not a scientific discipline in the usual sense of being a specialty field; it is rather an interdisciplinary combination of many areas of science.
		Planetary science is evolving into a field with rich interplay between the traditional area of geoscientific approaches applied to planets and the new areas of extrasolar planets and exobiology.

	CHAPTER 5: PLANETARY GEOLOGY: Manual of Remote Sensing
		Planetary geology is the study of surface and interior processes on solid objects in the solar system: planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, and rings.
		Planetary geology includes an assessment of the past state of the solar system, for example as preserved in the ancient, scarred surfaces of objects like the Moon and asteroids, or in the enigmatic polar layered deposits on Mars.
		Geologic histories of planetary surfaces are often documented in the form of geologic maps (compiled at various scales dependent on the available data and detail to be illustrated) which portray the three-dimensional surface units that comprise a planetary surface and indicate their relative stratigraphic positions.

		Planetary protection procedures specify the types of devices that may be used for air sampling in these environments.
		Planetary protection plans may call for the use of active or passive microbial barriers to protect against the recontamination of spacecraft after microbial reduction processing.

	Planetary Nebula Sampler
		A planetary nebula forms when a star can no longer support itself by fusion reactions in its center.
		It is estimated that there are about 10,000 planetary nebulae in our galaxy, so they are a relatively common, although short-lived phase (about 25,000 years) of the stellar life cycle.

	Brown Planetary: Research Themes
		Planetary Geological Processes includes fundamental themes such as impact cratering, volcanism, and tectonism and their relationship to planetary environments, crusts, and interiors.
		Members of the planetary group are planning an active role in the analysis of these data and in bridging disciplines to bring new understanding to the critical area of new research opportunities (e.g., global surface processes, advanced analysis approaches applied to change detection, etc.).
		Within the department, members of the Planetary Group regularly interact with research by other subgroups: mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry (geochemical and petrological analysis of lunar samples and meteorites, planetary petrogenesis, and experimental studies in planetary environmental conditions); tectonophysics (terrestrial and planetary tectonic and geophysical processes); and climate dynamics (basic parameters affecting climate change on the planets).

	Planetary Nebulae
		A planetary nebula can result as a star with mass of less than several times the solar mass ("low mass" star) ejects mass in the red giant stage, near the end of the star's life.
		In this stage, the central part of the star, which is about the size of the earth, consists of a carbon ash core, a shell in which helium is fusing to carbon, and a shell where fusion of hydrogen to helium has temporarily ceased.
		They are called planetary because to early astronomers these fuzzy patches seemed like the disks of planets, but, of course, we now know they have no association with planets.

	Planetary Nebulae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Well, because the lifetimes of planetary nebulae are so short, they live for only 50,000 or so years (which is less than 0.001 % of the Sun's lifetime), the chances of seeing this phase of stellar evolution is very small.
		Planetary nebulae are characterized by a shell of material (of mass roughly 10 to 20 % of a solar mass) moving away from a hot (temperatures of 20,000 to more than 100,000 Kelvins), faint star (in their center) at a speed of 10 to 30 kilometers per second.
		Planetary nebula fade away after 50,000 or so years because the material in the shell becomes too rarified to be seen.

		The vision of the Planetary Village imagines all of these qualities pervading a community with the scale and dynamics of a traditional village.
		This is very important in developing and incarnating within humanity a sense of planetary beingness, a sense of being part of a single, unified species and ecology.
		This means that the movement back toward villages and communities will increase, but now these will be planetary villages that deal with the land in new ways and that draw not only on local environmental influences for self-definition, but on the planetary perspective as a whole.

		Planetary is sort of a cross between the X-files and Allen Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, retaining the "Truth is out there" paranoia of the former and the basic premise of the latter (extraordinary humans brought together by unknown "boss" to solve mysteries).
		Planetary's main adversaries are clear analogues of Marvel's Fantastic Four; Snow's hatred of them, and the reasons for it, should inspire readers to take another look at the assumptions that allow superhero universes to function.
		Planetary is a thrill to read, but it's a very intelligent thrill that proves that action stories don't need to check their brains at the door.

		Much as a butterfly emerges when its chrysalis is ejected, planetary nebulae are formed when a red giant star ejectes its outer layers as clouds of luminescent gas, revealing the dense, hot, and tiny white dwarf star at its core.
		However, "planetary nebulae" are not made of planets, and no planets are visible within them.
