Astronomers Discover New Planetary Nebula in Large Magellanic Cloud
The image shows NGC 1866 superimposed with a false color image from the MUSE data cube, where the ionized shell of the planetary nebula Ka LMC 1 is seen as a red ring. The grayscale insets illustrate the different size of the ionized shells of singly ionized nitrogen [N II] and doubly ionized oxygen [O III]. The magnified Hubble image near the center of the ring reveals the presence of a pale blue star -- most probably the hot central star of Ka LMC 1. Image credit: AIP / M.M. Roth / NASA / ESA / Hubble.

During a spectroscopic study of stars in the massive young globular cluster NGC 1866 in a Milky Way satellite galaxy called the Large Magellanic Cloud, astronomers discovered a faint planetary nebula.
