Little Ghost Planetary Nebula (NGC 6537),optical image. This planetary nebula lies between 2000 and 5000 light-years from Earth,in the constellation of Ophiuchus. A planetary nebula has nothing to do with a planet,instead being formed by shells of gas cast off from a star (centre) near the end of its life.
