description NGC 6629 Overview
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 planets form. Its compact appearance and location near Sagittarius's familiar Teapot asterism make it a target for telescopic observation, although it is generally too small for unaided viewing.
