The sands of time are running out for the central star of this the Hourglass Nebula. With its nuclear fuel exhausted, this brief, spectacular, closing phase of a sun-like star's life occurs as its outer layers are ejected and its core becomes a cooling, fading white dwarf. In 1995, astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to make a series of images of planetary nebulae, including the one above. Here, delicate rings of colorful glowing gas (nitrogen-red, hydrogen-green, and oxygen-blue) outline the tenuous walls of the 'hourglass.' The unprecedented sharpness of Hubble's images revealed surprising details of the nebula ejection process and may resolve the outstanding mystery of the variety of complex shapes and symmetries of planetary nebulae.

Legend (descriptions) for the table above:
Shower = meteor shower (observed)
Date = date of observation
from (UTC) – to (UTC) = time of observation
Lm (av) = limiting magnitude (average)
Method = observation method (P-plotting, C-counting)
No = number of meteors
Spor. = sporadic
Cond. = observation´s conditions
mag (max) = maximum magnitude
mag (min) = minimum magnitude
Place = location during the observation
Obs. = shortcut of observer (will be generated for each observer who submitted his/her observation here)
Add your meteorite/bolid or asteroid observation here. Just submit your data here and we will add it into this table in very short time.
If you would like to send us the image or any material (file), please contact us via contact form in contact section and we will provide you with e-mail address where to send it.
