A historic astronomical photograph of the Ring Nebula (M57) taken in 1885 by French astronomers Paul and Prosper Henry. The image is rendered in sepia tones on a dark background, showing the nebula as a large glowing oval ring with a darker hollow center and a brighter, diffuse outer halo — the shell of gas expelled by a dying star. Several faint background stars and small fuzzy objects are scattered across the dark field.

On a black background, the elliptical eye-shape of the Ring Nebula, with yellowy-green around the outside, blue getting darker toward the middle, and a horizontal bar of reddy-pink at the center. Bold white text says 'Iconic Ring Nebula holds a mysterious iron bar, study finds.'

Interesting! The iconic #RingNebula has been thoroughly studied by professional and amateur astronomers alike for centuries. And now, researchers say it's been holding a secret all this time ... At the center, there is a bar-shaped cloud of iron. Read more:

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.

A stunning Hubble Space Telescope image of the Ring Nebula (M57), revealing its vibrant colors and intricate structure. This planetary nebula, a donut-shaped ring surrounding a football-shaped cloud of gas, is the expelled outer layers of a dying star, located approximately 2,500 light-years from Earth. The image showcases the nebula's rainbow-like hues, caused by ionized atoms in the gas illuminated by the central star's ultraviolet light.
