| Description | This
object is often classified as a
planetary nebula but the
nebulosity is actually material
that has been ejected from
the 6.7 magnitude Wolf-Rayet
star HD 148937. This image
clearly shows that the intense
winds from this star have
actually blown a bubble in the
surrounding interstellar
hydrogen.
