IC 2149

IC 2149 is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Auriga.

It was discovered in 1906 by Harvard astronomer Williamina Flemming on photographic plates.

[2] It is a small, bright planetary nebula with something to offer in telescopes of most sizes.

[3] Its distance to the Solar System has been estimated to be around 1.1 kiloparsecs, having a total mass of 0.03 solar masses and being thought to have been produced by a low-mass star.

[4] Some authors have proposed the planetary nebula that the Sun will produce will be similar to this one, but smaller.
