NGC 6519 is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Scorpius. It is approximately 2,000 light-years away from Earth and is known for its distinctive shape and bright central star. The nebula is formed from the outer layers of a dying star that have been expelled into space. The central star of NGC 6519 is a hot, luminous object that emits intense ultraviolet radiation, causing the surrounding gas to glow. This nebula is part of a larger group of similar objects, providing valuable insights into the life cycle of stars and the processes involved in stellar evolution.
