NGC 6881 is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel in 1788. This nebula is approximately 3,000 light-years away from Earth and is known for its distinct shape and bright central star. The nebula is formed from the outer layers of a dying star that have been expelled into space. As the star evolves, it sheds its outer material, creating a glowing shell of gas and dust. NGC 6881 is an example of the beautiful and complex structures that can arise from stellar evolution.
