PLANETARY NEBULA
A planetary nebula is an expanding,
glowing shell of hot gas
(plasma) that is cast off towards the
end of a low-mass star's life.
Despite the name, they have
nothing to do with planets, and were
so named because early
astronomers thought they looked a
bit like planets through a small
telescope.
