The Little Gem Nebula or NGC 6818 is a planetary nebula located in the constellation of Sagittarius, roughly 6000 light-years away from Earth. The glow of the cloud is just over half a light-year across. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1787.
NGC 6818 shows knotty filament-like structures and distinct layers of material, with a bright and enclosed central bubble surrounded by a larger, more diffuse cloud. Scientists believe that the stellar wind from the central star propels the outflowing material, forming the elongated shape of NGC 6818. As this stellar wind moves through the slower-moving cloud it creates particularly bright spots in the bubble’s outer layers.
Due to the jump distances involved, the 'Little Gem' planetary nebula, along with the Wolf-Rayet star at its core, was for a long time beyond the reach of even the best frameshift drive technology. However, with the recent innovations involving temporary boosting of frameshift drive jump ranges, the system is now reachable (Source).
