'''NGC 2736''', also known as the '''Pencil Nebula''' due to its elongated shape, is a [[nebula]] in the [[Inner Orion Spur]]. It is 5 light-years long and 815 light-years from [[Sol]], near [[Guardian]] space. It is just a small part of the Vela supernova remnant, the debris cloud, 100 light years across, of a star that exploded 11,000 years ago (the Vela Pulsar).<ref>https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap160715.html</ref> An [[Asteroid Base]], New Growth, services a terraforming planet in the closest system to the nebula, Pencil Sector EL-Y d5.

The Pencil Nebula moves at about 644,000 kilometers per hour (400,000 miles per hour).<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_2736</ref>
