Growing at the rate of some dozen kilometers per second, the nebula rather seems like a grown-up version of IC 418.

On the periphery of the modern constellation Camelopardalis it has the distinction of being the most northerly of the classic planetariums, just 7.5 degrees south of Polaris, more or less between it and the bowl of the little dipper.

IT is a relatively young nebula and has a care diameter of only about 0.4 light years.

A faint halo of interstellar dust surrounds the nebula

The core of the nebula does not have a distinctly visible structure in formation and is mostly composed of ionized helium.

But IC 3568, however, reveals just a faint structure. The bright inner region resolves into a complex structure with linear features pointing away from the central star, making the nebula look like the inside of a lemon, which is reinforced through false color.

The star, with a temperature estimated from two methods at 57,000 Kelvin and still heating (at a luminosity a couple thousand times that of the Sun), has recently made the transition to becoming hot enough to marginally doubly-ionize the nebula's helium.

The nucleus is surrounded by very bright matter, apparently perfectly round, and fading out a little at the edges. A smooth, faint halo of interstellar dust surrounds the bright region

# data[].attributes.body
The Lemon Slice Nebula is one of the most simple nebulae known, with an almost perfectly spherical shape. The central star is a very hot and bright Red-orange hue in a small telescope.

IC 3568 is a planetary nebula that is 1.3 kilo parsecs away from Earth
