M97 - The Owl Nebula
Planetary nebula in the constellation Ursa Major, 2030 light-years distance from Earth and about 8000 years old. The blurred appearance results from the fact that it consists of several overlapping shells of gas.  The shells are not entirely concentric, but form a barrel-like structure which gives rise to the owl-like appearance.
