NGC 2392, also known as the Eskimo Nebula, is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Gemini. It is approximately 4,200 light-years away from Earth and has a diameter of about 0.5 light-years. The nebula is named for its resemblance to a face surrounded by a parka hood. The central star of NGC 2392 is a hot, luminous star that has shed its outer layers, creating the nebula's colorful shell. Observations reveal intricate structures and a variety of colors, primarily due to the ionization of gases. This nebula is a fascinating example of stellar evolution and the life cycle of stars.
