... 31) What is a planetary nebula? Answer in a few sentences. A planetary nebula is the ejected envelope of a low mass star at the end of its lifetime. The nebula is created by the last episode of shell He-burning in a flash that ejects the envelope and exposes the dead stellar core of hot carbon that ...
