NGC 6537, the Red Spider Nebula, about 4000 light-years distant. A star ejected its outer gases and become a white dwarf. Complex structure of the outer shell is caused by both pressure waves or winds, and by ionized gas and dust.______ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010724.html

Pic is Mount Diablo, California; it is also the point setting for my snapshot default, because it is one of the most meaningful geographic places in the world.

Never heard about, but thanks for the information! Here an overlay for it, since GE shows a horrible spot of it.
