NGC 7026 (Cheeseburg Nebula ) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Swan . NGC 7026 are different, adjacent bipolar lobes that start from a ring-like tailie. In the center there is a low-hydrogen toilet star. Based on the extent and speed of expansion, the age of the nebula is assumed to be less than 1,000 years. An X-ray observation with the XMM-Newtonian shows a high emission in the bulges, which probably originates from about a million Kelvin hot plasma in these areas of the relatively young nebula.

The object was discovered by Sherburne Burnham on June 6, 1873 .
