Hen 2-437

Hen 2-437 is a bipolar planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula.

The nebula is notable for its ice blue colorisation.

It was first discovered by Rudolph Minkowski in 1946.

Hen 2-437 formed when a low mass star similar to our sun swelled into its red giant phase ejecting its outer layers into space.
