George’s Random Astronomical Object: Object 134: Not Dead Yet

Hosted by George Bendo. George’s Random Astronomical Object presents the planetary nebula NGC 7094.  While this object may look fairly typical in terms of planetary nebulae, the star at the center is not quite a dead white dwarf yet.   Brief biography: George Bendo is an astronomer who specializes in studying interstellar dust and star formation in nearby galaxies.  He currently works at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester, and his primary role is to support other astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).  He has been creating biweekly episodes of George’s Random Astronomical Object since 2019.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
