The Dumbell Nebula (also called M27 and NGC 6853) was the first planetary nebula to be discovered. On June 12 of 1764 old Earth date, noted astronomer Charles Messier wrote: 'Nebula without star, discovered in Vulpecula, between the two forepaws, & very near the star 14 of that constellation, of 5th magnitude according to [John] Flamsteed; one can see it well with an ordinary telescope of 3.5-foot; it appears of oval shape, & it contains no star'.
Later astronomers identified a white dwarf object at the center of the nebula, consistent with the formation of these nebula, in which late-life giant stars expel much of their mass before leaving a white dwarf. Strangely, the most recent survey in 3303 found a main-sequence A5 star at the center of the nebula. How this object came to be present is unknown.

Tranquility’s Stop maintains a tourist installation in orbit of BD+22 3878 5, a water world within the Dumbbell Nebula. The site contains a Navigation Beacon, which will give you the data for the local system, and a number of tourist ships. Two Satellites giving Engineer Data are adjacent to the facility.
