What Type of Celestial Object Is the Saturn Nebula?
💡 The Answer
- The Saturn Nebula is a planetary nebula, not a planet or star cluster.
- It formed from a low‑mass star that ejected its outer layers into space.
- The remaining core is a white dwarf star.
- Planetary nebulae have nothing to do with planets; the name is historical.
