Description

The magnificent Ring Nebula, in the constellation of Lyra, 2000 light years from our Earth, a wonderful planetary nebula that originates from the gases exploded by the white dwarf in the center. Hot gases, those closest to the white dwarf, take on bluish hues, while those farther away and consequently colder are a reddish hue.
