| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
| → | The Dragonfly Nebula is a tiny planetary nebula with a neutron star at its heart. Like most such nebulae, there is not really much to see from inside and the only object of interest is the water world.
However there are plenty of local systems from which you can get a good view such as from the rings of the earthlike world at Eoch Flyuae SV-B d14-8835 The neutron star at the center of the nebular is close to the TOV limit, at a hair over 2.5 solar masses, but it is still outside its swarzchild radius. There is not enough mass in the system to tip it over into a black hole if it were all to fall to the surface of the star, so the nebula is safe for now. | |
