NGC 6884 is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Aquarius. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel in 1785. This nebula is approximately 3,000 light-years away from Earth and has a diameter of about 0.5 light-years. The central star of NGC 6884 is a hot, luminous star that is shedding its outer layers, creating the nebula's glowing shell. The nebula exhibits a round shape and is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with traces of other elements. Its distinct features make it an interesting object for astronomers studying stellar evolution.
