NGC 2392 Eskimo Nebula is a bipolar double-shell planetary nebula in the constellation of Gemini. It lies about 5,000 light-years away. The planetary nebula began forming about 10,000 years ago, when the dying star began flinging material into space. T. W. Webb described this nebula as quite like a telescopic comet. Apparent magnitude 10.1
