| | Little Dumbbell Nebula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Little Dumbbell Nebula (also known as Messier Object 76 or NGC 650/651) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Perseus. | | | The nebula shines at an apparent magnitude of +10.1 with a central star of magnitude +16.6. | | | M76's distance is not well known and estimates range from 1,700 to 15,000 light years and consequently its dimensions are also not well known. |

| | It is commonly referred to as "The Little Dumbbell", but it claims a variety of other names, like the "Cork", "Barbell", and Butterfly". | | | At 8th magnitude, this planetary shines brighter than M-57, and it's central star (11th magnitude) is easy to resolve in smaller scopes. | | | See Open Cluster Drawings for a rendering of NGC-7510. |

| | Even the 14.7-mag central star, of the size of a terrestrial planet, is only little fainter than our Sun with an absolute magnitude of about +5 or 6. | | | A good value for the distance still needs to be determined (e.g., parallax by Hubble Space Telescope), but recently improved CCD technics was used at the US Naval Observatory (USNO) to determine a trigonometric parallax for the central star of M57, yielding 2,300 ly (Harris et.al. | | | Assuming a distance of 2,300 lightyears, this corresponds to an absolute magnitude of -0.3 visually (+0.5 photographically), or an intrinsic brightness of about 50 to 100 times that of our Sun. |

| | Infant planetary nebulae sometimes show evidence of a bipolar flow, as in the case of the Butterfly Nebula or Ant Nebula. | | | In deep exposures, the matter ejected at the precursor Mira-variable stage can sometimes also be detected as an extended halo. | | | Planetary nebulae have nothing to do with planets other than their name, which was coined by William Herschel, in the 1780s, because their appearance suggested to him the greenish disk of Uranus. |

| | Little Dumbbell Nebula (M76, NGC 650 and 651) |
| | A planetary nebula in the constellation Perseus that resembles, but is smaller and fainter than, the Dumbbell Nebula; it also known as the Cork Nebula, Butterfly Nebula, and Barbell Nebula and was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780. | | | The bright bar-shaped main body (measuring 42" x 87"), is probably a slightly elliptical ring seen edge-on from only a few degrees off its equatorial plane. | | | Finally, there is a faint halo covering a region about 290" in diameter, consisting of material that was probably ejected in the form of stellar winds from the central star when it was still in its red giant phase. |
