The Medusa Nebula<\/strong> is a planetary nebula<\/a> in the constellation of Gemini<\/a>. It is also known as Abell<\/a> 21 and Sharpless<\/a> 2-274. It was originally discovered in 1955 by University of California, Los Angeles<\/a> astronomer George O. Abell<\/a>, who classified it as an old planetary nebula.[4]<\/a><\/sup> With the computation of expansion velocities and the thermal character of the radio emission, Soviet astronomers in 1971 concluded that it was most likely a planetary nebula.[4]<\/a><\/sup> As the nebula is so large, its surface brightness is very low, with surface magnitudes of between +15.99 and +25 reported.[citation needed<\/a><\/em>]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The central star of the planetary nebula is an PG 1159 star<\/a>.[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n
