Description

RCW120 / GUM58 / SH 2-3 / Green Ring Nebula is an emission nebula and HII (star-forming) region in the southern constellation of Scorpius some 4,300 light-years from Earth. The expanding galactic bubble has been formed by a giant O-type star (the most massive type of star known to exist) at its centre which pushes on the surrounding dust and gas with nothing more than the power of its starlight.
