Stunning composite image of the Ring Nebula (M57), revealing its intricate structure and expansive loops of glowing gas. The vibrant red and teal colors highlight ionized hydrogen and oxygen, remnants of a dying star. This image combines ground-based and Hubble Space Telescope data, showcasing the nebula's beauty and complexity. Located in the Lyra constellation, it's approximately 2,000 light-years away.

Stunning Hubble image of the Ring Nebula (M57), a planetary nebula in Lyra. The image showcases its barrel-shaped gas cloud in vibrant colors, representing temperature variations: hot blue near the central star, transitioning to cooler greens, yellows, and reds at the outer edges. Dark structures are visible near the edge of this 1 light-year wide nebula, located 2000 light-years from Earth.
