In 1764, M27, or the Dumbbell Nebula, was discovered. It's a planetary nebula and our first hint at what the future of the Sun is like. This type of nebula is the kind that our Sun will create when nuclear fission stops in the Sun's core. M27 is one of the brightest planetary nebulae and can be seen near Vulpecula. It's so cool how our Sun will one day look like this. I love how the colors seem to change in a ring-like pattern.
