Difference between NGC 3242 and Planetary nebula

NGC 3242 vs. Planetary nebula

NGC 3242, commonly known as the Ghost of Jupiter, is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Hydra. A planetary nebula, abbreviated as PN or plural PNe, is a type of emission nebula consisting of an expanding, glowing shell of ionized gas ejected from red giant stars late in their lives.

Similarities between NGC 3242 and Planetary nebula

NGC 3242 and Planetary nebula have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Fast Low-Ionization Emission Region, Hubble Space Telescope, Nebula, Ultraviolet, William Herschel.

Fast Low-Ionization Emission Region

A Fast Low-Ionization Emission Region, or FLIER, is a volume of gas with low ionization, moving at supersonic speeds, near the symmetry axis of many planetary nebulae.
