Also known as NGC 3918, the Blue Planetary Nebula was observed on old Earth by famous astronomer John Herschel. The nebula is the product of a Wolf-Rayet class star which is rapidly blowing away its' outer layers. The WR-class star now has only 60% of the mass of Sol, but 6.9 times the radius. Due to the fusion of heavy elements this body has a surface temperature over 145,000 K and emits tremendous amounts of ultraviolet light. It is the excitement of the gas by the ultraviolet radiation which causes the nebula to shine (source).
