Planetary nebula

JWST captured this new image of the Ring Nebula in unprecedented detail. Formed by a star throwing off its outer layers as it runs out of fuel, the Ring…

Messier 57 - The Ring Nebula Credit: NASA/ESA HST, Spitzer ST, Giuseppe Donatiello RA: 283,387° Dec: 33,026 The Ring Nebula (Messier 57 or NGC 6720) is a planetary nebula in Lyra and it is illuminated by a central white dwarf or planetary nebula nucleus (PNN) of 15.75 visual magnitude. All the interior parts of this nebula have a blue-green tinge that is caused by the doubly ionized oxygen emission lines at 495.7 and 500.7 nm. In the outer region of the ring, part of the reddish hue is…

The Helix Nebula (NGC 7293 or also the eye of God): Planetary nebula in the constellation Aquarius with brightness of +6.30. The apparent diameter is specified with 16.0 'x 28.0'. Photo shown here has a diagonal field of view width (FOV) of slightly more than 1 °. The whole structure with all the fine nebulae around is much greater than the usually specified diameter. Picture was stacked from 200 shots h-Alpha & 135 shots RGB with a total exposure time of 37 hrs.

Distance from Earth: 2,283 light years The Ring Nebula (also known as M 57 or NGC 6720) is a planetary nebula visible in the boreal constellation of Lyra; it is about 2000 light years from Earth and about two light years in diameter. It is one of the most famous nebulae. The ring shape is actually a perspective effect since from the Earth we can observe it from one of the poles. If we could observe it from the equatorial plane it would have the appearance of the Manubrium Nebula (M27). Meade…
