The Blinking Nebula is a typical red and green planetary nebula. When viewed through a small telescope from Sol, the brightness of the central star overwhelms the eye when viewed directly, obscuring the surrounding nebula. A distinctive feature of this nebula are the two bright patches on either side, which are known as Fast Low-Ionization Emission Regions, or FLIERS. They appear to be relatively young, moving outwards at supersonic speeds.
In addition to the O6 primary star, several smaller solar bodies can be found.
