IRAS 20068+4051 is a protoplanetary nebula [1] in the Constellation Cygnus. [2] It has not yet become a complete planetary nebula, and it's still in the short-lived protoplanetary nebula phase. IRAS 20068+4051 has given astronomers insight into how planetary nebulae form and evolve over time. [3]
IRAS 20068+4051 was first discovered and observed during a sky survey with the Infrared Astronomical Satellite and later was later observed further with the Hubble Space Telescope. [4]
