NGC 6165 is a Nebula in the Ara constellation. NGC 6165 is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere. Given its visual magnitude of 6.71, NGC 6165 is visible with the help of a small binocular.

I captured the image of the presented emission nebula NGC 6164/6165 twice under the dark skies of Namibia. In one shot, I'll show it alongside the NGC 6188 nebula (the Fighting Dragons Nebula), but fo...

2018年3月18日 · NGC 6164 is the bright bar located in the lower (North) part of the central red nebulosity. NGC 6165 is the bright bar located in the upper (South) part of it. This nebula is the result of the mass ejection by an unfrequent star type, O6.5f (only five such stars are known, three in our own galaxy and two in the Small Magellanic Cloud).

NGC 6164, known as the Dragon's Egg Nebula,[1][2] is an emission nebula located in the constellation Norma. The nebula was discovered by astronomer John Herschel in 1834, and is approximately 3,870 light years from the solar system.

This zoom video transports us from a broad view of the Milky Way in the sky all the way to the cloudy nebula NGC 6164/6165 (also known as the Dragon’s Egg), home to the fascinating star system...

The emission nebula NGC 6164 & NGC 6165, is a rectangular, bipolar cloud with rounded corners and a diagonal bar producing an inverted S-shaped appearance. It lies about 1,300 parsecs (4,200 light-years) away in the constellation Norma, on the border of Ara.

The gorgeous skyscape is a composite of narrow-band image data highlighting the glowing gas, and broad-band data of the surrounding starfield. NGC 6164 is 4,200 light-years away in the southern constellation of Norma. NGC 6164-5 is a bipolar …

2024年10月27日 · NGC 6164, known as the Dragon's Egg Nebula, is an emission nebula located in the constellation Norma. The nebula was discovered by astronomer John Herschel in 1834, and is approximately 3,870 light years from the solar system.Its shape gives it the appearance of a planetary nebula resulting from the death of an old star similar to the Sun, but ...

===== NGC 6165 24" (4/11/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this striking bi-polar nebula was quite impressive at 200x and UHC filter. The two bright loops or arcs are symmetrically placed along the rim, 2.6' NW and 3' SE of center with the southeast arc brighter.

2024年4月11日 · This image, taken with the VLT Survey Telescope hosted at ESO’s Paranal Observatory, shows the beautiful nebula NGC 6164/6165, also known as the Dragon’s Egg. The nebula is a cloud of gas and dust surrounding a pair of stars called HD 148937.
