Image-field position and adopted distance
Jewel Bug Nebula image-field center is placed at J2000 RA 21.1 h, Dec 42.2° in Cygnus, at an adopted distance of 3,000 light-years.
Also known as NGC 7027.
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.

Jewel Bug Nebula (planetary nebula; central source Jewel Bug Nebula, illuminating stellar system): projected footprint at the adopted distance 1 × 0.7 light-years; outer radius used for arrival 0.5 light-years.
Hubble optical and infrared filters are combined in the published palette. The image records one stage of an evolving nebula; it does not determine a unique binary orbit. 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.
