Mohan-Mishra3 aka Tilak Nebula is a newly discovered object which is a Potential Planetary Nebula. Sankalp Mohan and Utkarsh Mishra(author) are the two young students from India who discovered this Potential PNe that was lurking in the outskirts of IC 2177. Mohan-Mishra 3 is registered at Planetary Nebula net which is handled by Pascal Le du. PN-G: 225.5-01.9 , Coordinates of Mohan-Mishra- 3: 07:07:51.23 -12:07:50.92

A planetary nebula represents a phase of stellar evolution that our sun should experience several billion years from now. When a star like the sun uses up all of the hydrogen in its core, it expands into a red giant, with a radius that increases by tens to hundreds of times. In this phase, a star sheds most of its outer layers, eventually leaving behind a hot core that will soon contract to form a dense white dwarf star. A fast wind emanating from the hot core rams into the ejected atmosphere, pushes it outward, and creates the graceful, shell-like filamentary structures seen with optical telescopes.

The first Planetary Nebula to be discovered was "Dumbbell Nebula" in the constellation of Vulpecula in mid-1700s by Charles Messier, famous French Comet Hunter, who noticed its distant faint fuzzy
