It is approximately 3,000 light-years away from Earth and is known for its bright central star, which is a remnant of a dying star that has shed its outer layers. The nebula exhibits a complex structure with various colors, primarily due to the ionization of gases. Discovered by John Herschel in 1834, NGC 6887 is also cataloged as PK 329-2.1. Its intricate patterns and vibrant hues make it a subject of interest for astronomers studying stellar evolution and the life cycle of stars. The nebula is best observed with telescopes that can capture its detailed features.
