The remaining materials are then believed to form planets, and other planetary system objects

VDB136
Light from the red giant star in the centre is being reflected in our direction by particles of soot and gas behind the star, giving the diffuse yellow glow of vdB 136. The area is surrounded by faint H-alpha emissions and interesting dark lanes too. This patch of sky lies about 2 degrees from the Cygnus the Swan’s brightest star, Deneb. vdB 136 is a around 2510 light years away
