Nicknamed the Spare-tyre nebula, IC 5148 is a planetary nebula located around 1 degree west of Lambda Gruis in the constellation of Grus (The Crane). It was discovered by Australian amateur astronomer Walter Gale in 1894. Around 3000 light-years distant, it is expanding at a rate of 50 kilometres a second, one of the fastest of all planetary nebulae.
The IC 5148 planetary nebula is centered on the IRAS 21565-3937 system, located almost 2400 light years below the galactic plane. This distant system is currently unreachable by the FSD technology of ordinary ships. However, in June 3305 the system was visited by the Canonn megaship the Gnosis during Operation Cabin Fever (source).
