List of protoplanetary nebulae

Topic: Astronomy

 From HandWiki - Reading time: 4 min
Short description: none

This is a list of protoplanetary nebulae. These objects represent the final stage before a planetary nebula. During this stage, the red giant star begins to slowly expel its outermost layers of material. A protoplanetary nebula usually glows by reflecting the light from its parent star. This stage is usually brief, typically lasting no more than a few thousand years.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
