NGC 7008, also known as the Fetus Nebula, is a planetary nebula with a diameter of approximately 1 light-year located at a distance of 2800 light-years in northern Cygnus. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1787, in Slough, England.
Its intricate and delicate structures make it a fascinating target for both amateur and professional astronomers studying the late stages of stellar evolution and the formation of planetary nebulae.
