The outer layers begin to expand, cool and shine less brightly. The expanding star is now called a Red Giant. The star expands to a Red Giant, below. Stage 8 - The helium core runs out, and the outer layers drift of away from the core as a gaseous shell, this gas that surrounds the core is called a Planetary Nebula.A Planetary Nebula.

Planetary nebulae are shells of gas thrown out by some stars near the end of their lives. Our Sun will probably produce a planetary nebula in about 5 thousand million years. They have nothing at all to do with planets; the terminology was invented because they often look a little like planets in small telescopes.he gas and dust in the nebula emits light because it is irradiated by nearby emerging stars. Located at a distance of about 1,600 light years, the Orion nebula is the brightest diffuse nebula in the sky, visible to the naked eye.
