For #SuperbOwl 🦉 Sunday I give you M97, the Owl Nebula, from the 0.9-meter telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory
It is object 97 in Charles Messier's catalog of “fuzzy things in the night sky that are not comets”. The Owl is a planetary nebula, the remains of a sun-like star that lost its outer layers at the end of its lifetime.
