Object data of NGC6164 |
||
| Object type: | Emission nebula | |
| Size: | 30' | |
| Magnitude: | - | |
| Constellation: | Nor | |
| Distance: | 4,200 Ly | |
| Notes: | NGC 6164 was created by a rare, hot, luminous O-type star, some 40 times as massive as the Sun. Spanning around 4 light-years, the nebula itself has a bipolar symmetry. That makes it similar in appearance to more common and familiar planetary nebulae. Also like many planetary nebulae, NGC 6164 has been found to have an extensive, faint halo which is also visible in the above image. | |
