Also known as M27, Messier 27, NGC 6853.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.
Dumbbell Nebula image-field center is placed at J2000 RA 20 h, Dec 22.7° in Vulpecula, at an adopted distance of 1,200 light-years.
Dumbbell Nebula (planetary nebula; central source Dumbbell Nebula, illuminating stellar system): projected footprint at the adopted distance 2.4 × 2.4 light-years; outer radius used for arrival 1.2 light-years.
The optical composite covers the bright inner nebula; very faint extended halos can lie outside the field. Placement uses the approximate distance adopted in the source release. Projected structure follows the credited observation at its published angular scale and an approximate adopted distance. Shallow depth is illustrative, not measured tomography. The source palette is preserved; brightness is adjusted for the navigable view.
