The easily visible central ring is about one light-year across, but this remarkably deep exposure &#8211; a collaborative effort combining data from three different large telescopes &#8211; explores the looping filaments of glowing gas extending much farther from the nebula&#8217;s central star. This remarkable composite image includes narrowband hydrogen image, visible light emission, and infrared light emission. Of course, in this well-studied example of a planetary nebula, the glowing material does not come from planets. Instead, the gaseous shroud represents outer layers expelled from a dying, sun-like star. The Ring Nebula is about 2,000 light-years away toward the musical constellation Lyra. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap180715.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is much more to the familiar Ring Nebula (M57), however, than can be seen through a small telescope.
