Scoring methodology
NGC 6629 is a planetary nebula in the constellation Sagittarius, listed in the New General Catalogue of astronomical objects. A planetary nebula is a glowing shell of gas expelled by an evolved, Sun-like star, so NGC 6629 is a late-stage stellar-remnant system rather than a planet or a cloud where p...
Why this score
Attractive compact planetary nebula with respectable observational interest; limited distinctive morphology and low public recognition.
Scoring methodology
