NGC 7009 - The Saturn Nebula
A planetary nebula in the constellation Aquarius, at a distance of about 5000 light-years, with a superficial resemblance to the planet Saturn.  This image does not do it justice, because a much larger telescope is required to resolve the complex internal structure of the nebula.
