| SCI | Hubble Snaps Images of a Nebula Within a Cluster
The unique planetary nebula NGC 2818 is nested inside the open star cluster NGC 2818A. Both the cluster and the nebula reside over 10,000 light-years away, in the southern constellation Pyxis (the Compass). NGC 2818 is one of very few planetary nebulae in our galaxy located within an open cluster. (Embargo expired on 15-Jan-2009 at 09:00 ET.) | 15-Jan-2009
