The Hubble Space Telescope has provided many spectacular images of planetary nebulae, revealing hitherto unexpected structure and detail in these remnants of medium and low mass stars. The Saturn Nebula was nicknamed by Lord Rosse in the 1840s due to a supposed resemblance in his telescope to the planet Saturn.
