Click for larger image

Planetary Nebula NGC 3242, also known as The Ghost of Jupiter. A Noteable feature of the nebula is the presence of the two red 'fliers' on both poles of the nebula, the gas comprising these objects is believed to be younger and moving at a much faster rate than that of the nebula. Images used were obtained from the ESO/ST-ECF archive, and processed with Fits Liberator using Adobe Photoshop 7.0.
