NGC_2464 is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Lynx. It was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel in 1785 and is approximately 1,600 light-years away from Earth. The nebula is notable for its bright central star, which is a remnant of a dying star that has shed its outer layers. The structure of NGC_2464 features a round shape with a distinct halo, showcasing a variety of colors due to the ionization of gases. Its size is about 0.5 light-years across, making it a relatively small nebula compared to others. Observations of this nebula contribute to our understanding of stellar evolution and the life cycle of stars.
