It will continue to expand before sloughing off its outer shell and ending its life as a white dwarf inside a planetary nebula.

It will expand further after its helium supply is exhausted, slough off its outer shell and become a white dwarf inside a planetary nebula.

NGC 246 ( Caldwell 56 ), also called the Cetus Ring, is a planetary nebula with a magnitude of 8. 0, 1600 light-years from Earth.

NGC 1501 is a planetary nebula.

There is one bright planetary nebula in Centaurus, NGC 3918, also known as the Blue Planetary.

Chamaeleon contains one planetary nebula, NGC 3195, which is fairly faint.

NGC 6891 is a planetary nebula of magnitude 10. 5.

NGC 1360 is a planetary nebula in Fornax with a magnitude of approximately 9. 0, 978 light-years from Earth.

On the western border are two spiral galaxies and the Wolf-Rayet planetary nebula IC 4406, containing some of the hottest stars in existence.

Another planetary nebula, NGC 5882, is towards the centre of the constellation.

Mira's bow-shock will eventually evolve into a planetary nebula, the form of which will be considerably affected by the motion through the interstellar medium ( ISM ).

Our Sun is expected to spawn a planetary nebula about 12 billion years after its formation.

A protoplanetary nebula ( PPN ) is an astronomical object which is at the short-lived episode during a star's rapid stellar evolution between the late asymptotic giant branch ( LAGB ) phase and the following planetary nebula ( PN ) phase.

Collaminated stellar winds from the central star shape and shock the shell into an axially symmetric form, while producing a fast moving molecular wind .< ref name = mnras360_1 > The exact point when a PPN becomes a planetary nebula ( PN ) is defined by the temperature of the central star.

Once they have exhausted their supply of hydrogen through nuclear fusion, medium to low mass stars shed their outer layers to form a planetary nebula and evolve into white dwarfs.

One possible explanation for the lack of white dwarfs is that when a red giant expels its outer layers to become a planetary nebula, a slight asymmetry in the loss of material could give the star a ' kick ' of a few kilometres per second, enough to eject it from the cluster.

Once a star like the Sun has exhausted its nuclear fuel, its core collapses into a dense white dwarf and the outer layers are expelled as a planetary nebula.

In this case, the star will form no planetary nebula but simply evaporate, leaving little more than a brown dwarf.

Once the Hydrogen at the core is consumed it expands into a red giant ( 4 ), then sheds its envelope into a planetary nebula and degenerates into a white dwarf ( 5 ).

Huge pulsations build up and eventually give the outer layers of the star enough kinetic energy to be ejected, potentially forming a planetary nebula.

If the core of the star is not too massive ( less than approximately 1. 4 solar mass, taking into account mass loss that has occurred by this time ), it may then form a white dwarf ( possibly surrounded by a planetary nebula ) as described above for less massive stars, with the difference that the white dwarf is composed chiefly of oxygen, neon, and magnesium.

Indeed, in the Halma edition of Theon's presentation of The Hypotheses there is a chart setting out ( under six distinct headings ) otherwise unrelated diagrams for describing the planetary motions.

But that one should superimpose all these charts, run a pin through the common point, and then scale each planetary deferent larger and smaller ( to keep the epicycles from ' bumping ' ), this is contrary to any intention Ptolemy ever expresses.

The distances of these points of light is a problem he cannot master, beyond crude conjectures as to the orderings of the planetary orbits viewed outward from earth.

It is the chief merit in Copernicus' work that all his planetary calculations are interdependent.

This sporadic type of planetary radiation is discussed by Burke ( chap. 13 ) and Gallet ( chap. 14 ).

The maximum angular diameter of any planetary disk as observed from the earth is about 1 minute of arc.

Therefore, neglecting the extreme outbursts, reflected solar radiation is not expected to cause sizable errors in the measurements of planetary radiation in the centimeter- and decimeter-wave-length range.

Also, planetary gravitational attraction increases the dust concentration near the plane of the ecliptic as the sun is approached.

The average overall albedo of Earth, its planetary albedo, is 30 to 35 %, because of the covering by clouds, but varies widely locally across the surface, depending on the geological and environmental features.

Thus, the planetary model of the atom was discarded in favor of one that described atomic orbital zones around the nucleus where a given electron is most likely to be observed.

Only the product is required to calculate planetary positions for an ephemeris, which explains why ephemerides are calculated in astronomical units and not in SI units.

As the meter is defined in terms of the second, and the speed of light is constant for all observers, the terrestrial meter appears to change in length compared to the " planetary meter " on a periodic basis.

Although the absolute numerical values of astronomical and historical years only differ by one before year 1, this difference is critical when calculating astronomical events like eclipses or planetary conjunctions to determine when historical events which mention them occurred.

This calculation also includes an allowance for light-time correction, and is therefore analogous to the concept of planetary aberration.

Above a certain threshold size, which varies with planetary gravity, the collapse and modification of the transient cavity is much more extensive, and the resulting structure is called a complex crater.

Caldera structure is similar on all of these planetary bodies, though the size varies considerably.

In a similar way, evidence about the history of the universe is drawn from astronomy, astrophysics, planetary geology, and physics.
